Loading... The End Of A Family Story (original 1977; edition 2000)by Péter Nádas (Author)A dazzling construction and deconstruction of time and narrative. Well worth the attempts to distill meaning from the sporadic, snapshot-like episodes related by the unreliable narrator and to navigate through the linear and cyclic temporal frames. A descent into a half-mad, fairy-tale world interspersed with biblical allegories and political undertones. During the class discussion I half-joked about applying an agnostic reading to the whole, because ultimately the discussion boiled down to an exchange of educated guesses, but the professor agreed with me. |
