'Disturbing, compelling, beautifully translated' The Times
'Electric, urgent, luminous ... a coming-of-age with a difference'
Daily Mail Eleven-year-old Djata makes sure he is always home on
Sundays. It is the day the State Security came to take his father
away, and he believes it will be a Sunday when his father finally
comes home again. While he waits, Djata lives out a life of
adventure. He plays wargames in flaming wheat fields; hunts for
gold in abandoned claymines; watches porn in a backroom at the
cinema, and plays chess with an automaton. But lurking beneath his
rebel boyhood, pulling at his heartstrings, is the continued
absence of his father. When he finally uncovers the real truth, he
risks losing his childhood for ever. With THE WHITE KING, Gyoergy
Dragoman won the prestigious Sandor Marai prize. An urgent,
humorous and melancholy picture of a childhood behind the Iron
Curtain it introduces a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction.
