Lucka, Maceška a já

The book weaves together delicate, fragile threads: a young man's fatherly attachment to a little girl who is not his own, his long search for his sexual identity, and his almost detective pursuit of a celebrated poet who went into exile and of that poet's past. Poetry, painful insights, estrangement, loss and death run through it. Characters who seem to come from quite separate worlds, each of whom could fill a novella, cross paths and enrich one another's stories.
