Produktbeschreibung
Exploring sanity and insanity, truth and untruth, The Rise and Fall of ParkinsonâEUR(TM)s Disease is Svetislav BasaraâEUR(TM)s unblinking and unforgettable deconstruction of the Soviet psyche.Told as an eclectic collection of appropriated testimonies, treatises, missives, and police files, The Rise and Fall of ParkinsonâEUR(TM)s Disease follows the progression of the contagionâEUR(TM)s patient zero, a Soviet citizen (sometimes) named Demyan Lavrentyevich Parkinson, as he ascends from hellish health to the sacred illness. Hailed as one of SerbiaâEUR(TM)s most influential living writers, Svetislav BasaraâEUR(TM)s scathing, irreverent critiques of authoritarianism have twice won him SerbiaâEUR(TM)s prestigious NIN Award. In The Rise and Fall of ParkinsonâEUR(TM)s Disease, Basara lives up to this reputation with a book as formally ambitious as it is intellectually sophisticated. His blend of grotesque absurdism and wry humor evokes the paranoid, vexing worlds of Franz KafkaâEUR(TM)s novels and the meta-textual assemblages of Paul Auster. Told from a colorful range of perspectives, the novel is a multifaceted, crystalline account of truth, lies, and history, a sprawling case study of humans in an inhuman society.
