Více o knize
In this ambitious and accomplished novel, Vina Apsara, a beloved singer, disappears during a devastating earthquake, setting the stage for her story and that of Ormus Cama, her lover. Ormus's journey to find, lose, and seek Vina unfolds throughout his extraordinary life in music. Their epic romance is narrated by Rai, Ormus's childhood friend and Vina's occasional lover, whose compelling voice weaves together stories, images, myths, and emotions, making him a central figure in the narrative. As Rai recounts Ormus and Vina's tale, he also confronts his own truths, revealing his flaws and desires while navigating the loves and conflicts surrounding the era's deities. The world around them begins to tremble, with cracks appearing in reality, hinting at deeper abysses. This gripping novel presents a bold vision of contemporary life, exploring the complex interplay between East and West, while remaking the myth of Orpheus. It blends elements of comedy, passion, and culture, ultimately creating a rich tapestry of love, death, and rock 'n' roll.
