Krátky popis
From the bestselling author of The Monk of Mokha andThe Circle
comes a taut, suspenseful story of two foreigners' role in a
nation's fragile peace. 'Tightly written, carefully designed to
wrong-foot preconceptions, and astute... An intensely gripping
story' Evening Standard'Certainly his best book since What is the
What, The Parade may well be the sound of a major writer finding
his mature voice' SpectatorAn unnamed country is leaving the
darkness of a decade at war, and to commemorate the armistice the
government commissions a new road connecting two halves of the
state.Two men, foreign contractors from the same company, are sent
to finish the highway. While one is flighty and adventurous,
wanting to experience the nightlife and people, the other wants
only to do the work and go home. But both men must eventually face
the absurdities of their positions, and the dire consequences of
their presence.With echoes of J. M. Coetzee and Graham Greene, this
timeless novel questions whether we can ever understand another
nation's war, and what role we have in forging anyone's peace.
