A novel of a life lived on the margins of Europe where East and West uneasily meet. At home in neither his native land nor his adopted country, the narrator writes from a fictional border state that transcends national boundaries.
Winner of the 1993 Baltic Assembly Prize
An immediate sensation upon its 1993 publication in Europe, already translated into more than a dozen languages, Border State is a brilliantly realized account of a man in the grip of Western excess, emotionally crippled by a world that is subsuming his own and inhabiting a West in which "all countries have become imaginary deserts of ruins where crowds of nomads roam from one attraction to the other." His tale, in which disillusion and murder become inextricably linked, is a compelling exploration of scarcity, longing, and madness.
