The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

A brilliant work of fiction, exploring different aspects of modern existence in seven beautifully integrated parts. From the fading memory of a lost love to the erasure of "enemies" of communism from historical records, this novel is rich in stories, characters, and imaginative range. Written by a genius author who was once forbidden to publish in his home country, this new translation brings unmatched fidelity to his original work.
