Three novels cover more than half a century of Timișoara, from the early years of the communist dictatorship to the tarantella of new capitalism in the 1990s, when small Italian entrepreneurs moved in. The first, named after a secret-police code word, is an epic music hall of psychics and Securitate men. In the second, high-school rockers try to slip across the border to reach the graves of their idols, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. The third, in the vein of Hašek, follows the capitalist adventures of a novice lost in the post-1989 New World of bosses of every kind.
