Inside our memories, we are all absolutely free. This novel, written back in 1994, is relevant at all times. It is about the inevitability of loss and the subtle but strong connection between a person and his memory. On the defining property of memory. About the fact that if memory is removed from a person, in its place there will be an emptiness that cannot be filled by anything. Memory, sometimes contained in the most familiar everyday things, such as a hair ribbon, a postage stamp, a bird, a photo card or a harmonica, is the main character of this unscientific but fantastic action, the palette of which extends between social satire, utopia and Kafkaesque tragedy. Everyone for fans of “1984” by George Orwell, “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury, “Women in the Sand” by Kobo Abe and “Wonderland Without Brakes” by Haruki Murakami.
