Beschreibung
The novel is framed into sixteen chapters-days, during which an old man dies and is buried, accompanied and cared for by his adult children. This situation revives in each participant their recent and long-past actions and memories of the deeds of their peers, descendants, and ancestors (whether relatives, friends, or people with whom they briefly crossed paths), from which current life relationships have grown. ***** The deceased become significant participants in this time of grace. Their faces demand to be spoken of, and their voices, calling for attention, are given more heed than ever at this time. ***** One of the metaphors developed in the novel is the similarity between life and music, which "stands on repetitions." To understand one's place in life means to glimpse the recurring motifs and thus achieve a transformation of life's direction from a vicious circle to a free, creative acceptance of the starting conditions.
