'As a writer, Carr re is straight berserk' Junot Diaz

In this non-fiction novel - road trip, confession, and erotic tour de force - Emmanuel Carr re pursues two consuming obsessions- the disappearance of his grandfather amid suspicions that he was a Nazi collaborator in the Second World War; and a violently passionate affair with a woman that he loves but which ends in destruction. Moving between Paris and Kotelnich, a grisly post-Soviet town, Carr re weaves his story into a travelogue of a journey inward, travelling fearlessly into the depths of his tortured psyche.
