Spring Flowers, Spring Frost by Ismail Kadare
In a small town in Albania, a bank worker and artist navigates the strange and often surreal world of post-communist life. The novel explores the tension between the old and new ways of life, as well as the underlying violence that threatens to burst forth at any moment. The protagonist's life is disrupted by strange events, such as the discovery of a girl who has been living in a bunker for years, and his own wife's sudden disappearance. The narrative is filled with dreamlike, often disturbing imagery, reflecting the protagonist's struggle to make sense of his rapidly changing world.
