Product Description
Review
"In its artistic radicalism, the novel is very modernist, while being very post-modern in its zest for irony. The ideas which drive the novel are primarily a fear of people and misanthropy, themes familiar from Unt's earlier works. Here again we have the criminals, farmers who set their dogs on those wandering through the night, arctic hysteria, and cannibalism." - Kalev Keskula"
Product Description
Set in Estonia near the end of the millennium, a eulogy for what humans may destroy. "Things In The Night" is a moving and hilarious hybrid work concerning the author's attempts to write a book on electricity in all its forms - a source of urban heating and lighting, but also a dangerous mysterious force. Anecdotes and digressions crowd his pages, introducing loquacious cannibals, seductive werewolves, witches in limousines and bomb-toting revolutionaries. This novel is as thrilling and unpredictable as lightning itself. It explores a world on the edge of disaster - plagued by mysterious power-outages and threatened by ominous conspiracies - juxtaposed against images and stories of unsurpassed beauty and tenderness.
