A prismatic novel that records the indelible marks a mother leaves on her son after she abandons their home in Italy for a business she's building in Romania. Lorenzo, just a young boy when his mother leaves, recalls the incisive fragments of their life - when they would playfully wrestle each other, watch the sunrise, or test out his mother's newest scientific creation. Now a young man, Lorenzo travels to Romania for his mother's funeral and reflects on the strangeness of today's Europe, which masks itself as a beacon of Western civilization while iniquity and exploitation run rampant. With elliptical, piercing prose, Bajani tells a story of abandonment and initiation, of sentimental education and shattered illusions, of unconditional love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mothers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Romania $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Harris, Elizabeth, $d 1996- $e translator. 700 1 $a White, Edmund, $d 1940- $e writer of afterword. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023553.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220902015409.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220129010220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A0EF3868D2F11EB9F58E3DB45ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
