'Cartarescu is one of the great literary voices of Central Europe'
Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel Prize winner and author of Flights 'A
Danubian Narnia. . . his writing delivers a rainbow-hued riot of
fantasy, imagination and invention' Boyd Tonkin, Spectator A
dreamlike novel of memory and magic, Nostalgia turns the dark world
of Communist Bucharest into a place of strange enchantments. Here a
man plays increasingly death-defying games of Russian Roulette, a
child messiah works his magic in the tenements, a young man
explores gender boundaries, a woman relives her youth and an
architect becomes obsessed with the sound of his new car horn -
with unexpected consequences. Blending reality and symbolism, time
and myth, this is a cult masterwork from Romania's most celebrated
writer.
