About this title

Synopsis

Esterházy, whom we know by his unforgettable A Little Hungarian Pornography, achieved in this book a real literarian tour-de-force which mixes most unexpected and revealing ingredients. Two brothers and a sister, summoned by their father and reunited at the hospital where their mother lies on her deathbed, must come to grips with their relationships with both their parents.
