Get it by 5 Aug | Order in 3 Hours 39 Minutes
Born to a circus dancer mother and a captain father, but not of an airplane, rather a mat. He grew up in this environment, developing a keen interest in observing people. This satirical novel presents its events, characters, and locations with the harshness and oddity of life itself. It invites you to meet face-to-face with criminals, prostitutes, madmen, magicians, revolutionaries, and clowns in a carnival that started at an unknown time. It paints a vivid picture of life that seems simple at first glance, but encompasses all aspects ranging from ambitions and desires to madness, greed, and urges for murder and harassment. It tells the story of a clown and a taxi driver who found himself entangled in others' affairs, which he narrated without hesitation. It does not complement the author's previous two novels but builds a new narrative landmark where Hage is strongly present.
