The arrival of an unusual circus company releases the anger of a provincial town.
László Krasznahorkai turns a collective disturbance into a question about the instability beneath ordinary order. Choose this for demanding fiction that asks for sustained attention to language and atmosphere. The appeal lies in watching social unease gather force, rather than expecting a quickly resolved explanation of the spectacle.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
