An outstanding pianist, beautiful and blind, the protagonist of Silvester Lavrik's debut novel, and the first published in Polish, is a dazzling guide through contemporary Slovakia and its recent history. \"Zu\" is simultaneously a crime novel, a romance, a political and social novel, and a family saga, but above all, a dynamic and moving novel about exclusion. Lavrik created a very interesting narrative technique, utilizing the possibilities of film, theater, and visual arts. From many scenes and vignettes, often spot-lit, he constructed a complete whole. Slovakia shines here in the sun or under a microscope. It speaks in many registers of language. It is accused, yet full of charm. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Zu\" is a novel about a bad world that nonetheless offers hope. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilvester Lavrik (born 1964): writer, poet, screenwriter, playwright, theater and film director, radio play director. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor of several novels, most recently \"Zu\" (2011) and \"Naivne modlitby\" (2013), and over 30 plays, published and staged in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Serbia, France, Hungary, the USA, Germany, and Finland.
