Blaugast: A Novel of Decline Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fiction. Translated from the German by Cynthia Klima. Afterword by Dierk O. Hoffman. BLAUGAST is the story of ruin. A bored clerk, Klaudius Blaugast, pursues his desires down a path spiraling into complete degradation. Homeless and destitute, having lost everything to the evil prostitute Wanda, he seeks redemption in a Prague that has become alien to him. Flashbacks to incidents in his past, hallucinatory revelations of the meaning of events long forgotten, point to the seeds of his eventual downfall.
