Description
The Concert by Ismail Kadare is a surreal and deeply serious novel that explores the inner workings of political power. In 1970s Albania, tensions are rising between China and its Communist ally, with couriers carrying annotated x-rays of a diplomat's foot back and forth between Tirana and Beijing. As the Sino-Albanian axis begins to fray, Kadare crafts a black comedy that delves into the mysterious causal chains transforming ordinary lives. This is a novel that dramatizes truthfully, shedding light on the intricate web of power and politics. Published in 2013, The Concert is a thought-provoking work that transcends its unassuming exterior to reveal a complex and nuanced exploration of life under Communist rule.
