The Tree with No Name (Slovenian Literature)

About this book

A diary recounting four decades worth of sexual exploits the memoir of a mental institution attendant and a familiar-looking bicycle dredged out of a river--the discovery of these artifacts sends an archivist on an obsessive quest to discover their owners identities and fates. Shifting between Slovenias postcommunist present and its wartime occupation by the Axis "The Tree with No Name" might well be Drago Jancars masterpiece: a compelling and universally significant story of an individual confronting the constraints on truth set by his--and every--culture.
