"The Burnt Book" consists of two novels and a collection of short stories. In the novel "The Eating Artist", the main character Andi is flown to America, with the aim of discussing a joint business plan with the Hunger Artist; the novel "The Second Trial"
follows the structure of Kafka's "The Trial", but from a female perspective (the main character is Miss K.), melting the mythical iceberg, dealing with the same themes - guilt, punishment, shame; in the short story cycle "Quasimodo"
the sixteenth story, however, takes a step-by-step approach through the core texts of modern literature to the explosion of the main character in the last short story "Burn the Books".
The reader who has reached the end sees a rare sight behind him - a manuscript that has burned.RK
