About This Novel

Augustin Gora left socialist Romania and settled in New York, living alone and surrounded by books. Deep in his lair of isolation from reality, he devoted himself to his favorite activity: writing satirical eulogies for his contemporaries. Gora often thinks about his Romanian past, especially his ex-wife Lou. This beauty refused to go into exile in the United States with him at the time, but later accompanied her cousin and lover Peter Gaspar to appear in the United States. Peter's father was a Jew who was deported to a concentration camp by the Nazis, and he was always out of tune with the world. Time speeds up when Peter receives an anonymous death threat postcard. The wise Gora received a call for help. Can he provide the thread to escape from the maze? A labyrinth in which one finds the figure of a master, a great polymath, famous throughout the world but at the same time controversial in the past for his compromises with the far right.
