Overview
Basada en gran medida en la experiencia del autor como refugiado e inmigrante, esta novela psicológica sigue a Antanas Garsva, un poeta emigrado que trabaja como ascensorista en un gran hotel de Nueva York en los años cincuenta. Atrapado en la rutina mecánica de su trabajo y en una relación amorosa frágil, Garsva comienza a sufrir crisis que lo arrastran a un torbellino de recuerdos: la infancia en Lituania, la guerra, la ocupación soviética y el exilio. Una obra intensa sobre la alienación, la creatividad y la identidad.
Drawing largely on the author’s own experience as a refugee and immigrant, this psychological novel follows Antanas Garsva, an émigré poet working as an elevator operator in a large New York hotel in the 1950s. Trapped in the mechanical routine of his job and a fragile love affair, Garsva begins to suffer episodes that plunge him into a whirlwind of memories: childhood in Lithuania, war, Soviet occupation, and exile. An intense work about alienation, creativity, and identity.
