About the book: 2020 / The outstanding Slovenian writer Drago Jancar (b. 1948) is well known to the reader from previously published translations of the novels "Galernik" (1982), "Northern Lights" "(1990), "Katarina, the Peacock and the Jesuit" (2010), "That Night I Saw Her" (2013). The novel permeates the hero-narrator’s sense of the inexorable future tragic events of the end of the 20th century. With the author's characteristic subtle psychologism and gentle humor, he describes his hero's stay at a literary arts course in New Orleans, surrounded by the aromas of Cajun cuisine, and the polyphony of jazz merges with the voices of the characters.
