The End Of A Family Story by Péter Nádas
For him, he invents a fantastic tapestry of stories, a family saga, a fabulous world of myths and legends. His mother dead and his father condemned by the authorities as a traitor, Simon is sent to an institution where the inmates are sentenced to silence.
Like Nadas's highly praised A Book of Memories, this is a moving, always unusual novel..it lifts the reader into the sort of deeply imagined personal experience that can only be achieved by good fiction * Observer *
A hypnotically beautiful novel * Daily Telegraph *
Peter Nadas is unique in that he both fictionalises the storytelling impulse and explores its origins in the consciousness of a child... A magnificent novel... A genuine work of art * The Times *
