Sehol

Seven absurd ballads that join into a delta of linked stories, further variations on the end of days. They take place somewhere close at hand yet off the map: on the marshy banks of the river Dvug, on a meadow, on a hilltop, in a prison, or in the real village of Leordina in Maramureș. Each place has its own natural features and its own harsh laws. There are funerals and meetings, betrayals and escapes, love triangles and complications of every kind, and an atomic bomb in the night, in stories full of twists about the power of chance.
