More about the book
A young girl’s father is constantly forcing her to kiss him, and her aunt predicts that she will grow up to be a whore. With Albania's communist regime crumbling around them, sex, dictatorship, and death are inescapable subjects for the girl and her family;though the protagonist of <i>The Country Where No One Ever Dies</i> always confronts the ridiculousness of her often brutal reality with unflappable irony and a peculiar kind of common sense. Her name and age changing from moment to moment, she is an unforgettable portrait of the imagination under siege, while <i>The Country Where No One Ever Dies</i> is itself a one-of-a-kind atlas to a land where black comedy is simply a way of life.
