Having escaped from his many casino debts in Buenos Aires, where he was living in exile, he wishes to be reunited with his high school sweetheart Marika. What follows is an endless storm of gossip, con men, and local politicians, vividly evoking the small town's alternately drab and absurd existence. All along, the Professor--a world-famous natural scientist who studies mosses and inhabits a bizarre Zen-like shack in a desolate area outside of town--offers long rants and disquisitions on his own attempts to immunize himself from thought. Spectacular actions are staged, death and the abyss loom, until finally doom is brought down on the unsuspecting residents of the town"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Krasznahorkai Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Krasznahorkai Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Krasznahorkai Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Krasznahorkai Checked In Add Copy to MyList
