The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios

Opis książki:

Here are four unforgettable stories by the author of Life of Pi. Written earlier in Martels career, these tales display that startling mix of dazzle and depth that have made Yann Martel an international phenomenon.
Inventive in form and timeless in content, each story is moving and thought-provoking. A Canadian university student visiting Washington, D.C., experiences the Vietnam War through an intense musical encounter. Variations of a wardens letter to the mother of a man he has just executed reveal how each life is contained in its end. A young mans fascination with the mirror-making machine he finds in his grandmothers attic is juxtaposed with the reminiscences it evokes from his grandmother. And, in the exquisite title story, a young man dying of AIDS joins his friend in fashioning a story of the Roccamatio family of Helsinki, set against the yearly march of the twentieth century.
