A life measured against Hungary’s transformation
At 55, the unnamed-in-the-description Hungarian intellectual looks back on a life shaped by personal disappointments and political upheaval. The country’s transformation into a Communist state provides the historical frame for his reflections on family, marriage, love, and revolution. His present in an asylum—where he feels oddly sheltered from the world beyond its walls—sets those memories against a confined vantage point. The novel brings private reckoning and national change together through the perspective of a man who considers himself a failure in several roles.
