A varjúkirály

A novella and fourteen other stories, subtitled western stories, that come home from the battlefields of the Middle East. They tell of death and birth, friendship and letting go, the loneliness of marriage and a childhood that takes revenge, in hard, clipped minimalist prose and the telling silences of men. As in the earlier eastern stories, the real front lines do not run through deserts, bare plateaus or bombed cities: the fight is for the characters' souls, between good and evil, God and Satan, or the Crow King.
