Book of Losses and Shortages

During the war, tragedy intertwines with comedy, drama turns into farce, heroism into stupidity, pathos into cynicism, black and white turn red. The author accumulates mountains of plots and characters, and then collects stories like a mosaic. Together they form a picture of war, full of death, pain, fear, despair, lies, but also hope, passion, euphoria and laughter.

Soldiers accidentally catch a collaborator; parents go to the occupied territories to get their son's body; an uncle worries that there are so many dead and wounded around, but he is whole. The story of two people and a cat begins with tea and does not end with war. A scandal is made over the body of a soldier by his wife and mistress. Amidst the endless rain, insurmountable mud and constant arrivals, something happens that no one expected. Despite its complex themes, The Book of Loss and Lack can be your asset in our dark times.
