A melancholy tale of searching-for documents, for truth, for
coffee-from the Romanian master A splendid, violent spring suddenly
grips Bucharest in the 1980s after a brutal winter. Tolea, an
eccentric middle-aged intellectual who has been dismissed from his
job as a high school teacher on "moral grounds," is investigating
his father's death forty years after the fact, and is drawn into a
web of suspicion and black humor. Norman Manea's enigmatic and
artful novel-set against the backdrop of life under the repressive
Ceausescu regime-depicts the chaos and deprivation of Tolea's
existence, and his tenuous grip on reality.
