Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, a quirky and darkly humorous book from one of South America's most respected writers <BR><BR>'Buarque's most naturalistic fiction to date, and the funniest' - TLS<BR>'The alluring, poetic… quality of a dream described aloud' - Independent <BR>_____________________________________________________________________________<BR><BR>José Costa has just attended the Anonymous Writers Congress in Istanbul and is on his way back to Rio when a bomb scare on his flight forces him to spend a night in Budapest.
