Hidden Camera
Longlisted for the 2007 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
Original title: Skrivena kamera. Publishers in English: Polaris (English, 2003), Dalkey Archive Press (US, 2005).
“I found the envelope wedged in the front door…” With these words begins a series of surreal adventures for a correct, sensitive and morbidly self-conscious undertaker. Drawn hither and thither across the city by the lure of the hidden camera, he finds himself caught up in an ever more perplexing and anguished pursuit, leading to a denouement both beautiful and satisfying. By turns sinister and comic, slapstick and profound, Hidden Camera raises questions about the nature of self-awareness, freedom and surveillance, as well as eternal themes of love and death.
The film rights for Hidden Camera have been optioned by the UK produvtion company Chocolate Films.
