About This Novel

Elna, a 15-year-old girl, suddenly fainted while eating. She heard various voices, saw a shadow swimming on the glass, a big tree growing in the room, and a man wearing a gold-rimmed monocle standing behind her younger brother... Only Erna's mother knew that this man was the long-dead grandfather whom Erna had never met. Erna's mother re-organized a mystical gathering at home. The gathering was attended by clerks from the death registration office of the city council, Jewish doctors, brain science researchers, and psychoanalysts... They sat around the table, holding hands, waiting for Erna to fall asleep, writing on the slate, and speaking intermittent words in different voices.
