A melancholy tale of searching-for documents, for truth, for coffee-from the Romanian masterA splendid, violent spring suddenly grips Bucharest in the 1980s after a brutal winter. Tolea, an eccentric middle-aged intellectual who has been dismissed from his job as a high school teacher on moral grounds, is investigating his fathers death forty years after the fact, and is drawn into a web of suspicion and black humor. Norman Maneas enigmatic and artful novel-set against the backdrop of life under the repressive Ceausescu regime-depicts the chaos and deprivation of Toleas existence, and his tenuous grip on reality.
