Description
A luminous, time-bending meditation on family and longing, this novel traces the emotional bonds between men and their fathers across generations. Through a sequence of vivid “snapshots” drawn from the lives of the author’s great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and himself, key moments recur with shifting details—how parents meet, how love and duty take shape, and how memory reshapes what came before. Blending intimate storytelling with a quietly experimental structure, it explores themes of inheritance, identity, and the way relationships echo beyond chronology. With Péter Esterházy’s signature wit and lyrical precision, the book turns personal history into a multiplying creation—proof that the past is never simply behind us, but harmonizes with the present.
