The new book from the winner of the inaugural International Man
Booker Prize is a modern-day love story of powerful obsession set
against the background of dark political intrigue.
On the autobahn in Vienna a taxi leaves the carriageway and strikes
the crash barrier, flinging its male and female passengers out of
its back doors as it spins through the air. The driver cannot
explain why he lost control; he only says that the mysterious
couple in the back seat seemed to be about to kiss . . .
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of war and its aftermath in the
Balkans, The Accident intimately documents an affair between two
people caught in each other's webs. The investigation into their
deaths uncovers a mutually destructive obsession that mirrors the
conflicts of the region. A destabilizing mixture of vivid
hallucination and cold reality, Ismail Kadare's new novel is a bold
and fascinating departure.
