Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative follows an émigré poet navigating life as an elevator operator in a New York hotel during the mid-1950s, reflecting the author's own refugee experiences. Through a psychological, stream-of-consciousness style, it contrasts the narrator's past in Lithuania before and during World War II with the challenges of adapting to a modern, indifferent world. The novel employs multiple voices to explore themes of identity and the impact of historical context on language and consciousness, ultimately revealing the complexities of the immigrant experience.
