Synopsis
In English the title is "Memoirs found in a bathtub" Expertly piercing the bloated belly of the cold war mentality, the author leaves us to reflect on the things we should value in an age of artifice and invention of myths and monsters. This novel, although biting at the ankles of the cold war superpowers, never dates, as the tale it unfolds holds much truth and importance for the 21st century reader. Read this, then turn on the news, and see how it looks afterwards. Different world now, huh ? Now watcha gonna do ?
