Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Born in Czechoslovakia, Mark Sloukas parents survived the Nazis only to have to escape the Communist purges after the war. Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into. From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denialadmitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit, and the lies we tellin an attempt to reach his mother, the enigmatic figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story, the revelation of her life-long burden and the forty-year love affair that might have saved her, shows the way out of the maze. "I have never before read anything except Nabokovs Speak, Memory that so relentlessly and shrewdly exhausted the kindness and cruelty of recollections shaping devices."
