Claustrophobias

Nikolai Grozni

4.9/5 (32555 ratings)

Description:Nikolai Grozni, the protagonist of Claustrophobias, is beset by visions from his years as a Buddhist monk in India and his travails as an ex-monk returning to a so-called "normal" life in the West. His struggle to reconstruct the precise setting and facts of key events from his past in India, France, Bulgaria, Italy and the US, transforms into a Kafkaesque comedy of errors where the facts most resistant to verification are often the very elements that make up Nikolai's identity: his date of birth, his name, his age, and his reality in time and space. Each of the fifteen adventures is marked by a sense of ontological entrapment and identity loss--hence the common theme, claustrophobia. Nikolai is accompanied throughout by a cast of quirky characters who dabble in miracles and are always ready to engage in epistemological debates from the Indian tradition. A Cleveland Ifa priest stuffs people into Coca Cola bottles, a New Delhi bookseller sells Sanskrit manuals for constructing Vedic spaceships, a municipal clerk in Sofia deconstructs reality and disappears in the middle of the street.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
