- Summary
-
"Two authors, one young, one old and ailing, maintain a conversation over a period of five years. The setting is the city Vilnius - known before World War II as the 'Jerusalem of Lithuania.' As the meetings take place, the young author records on cassette the confessions of a man preparing to die. The dying man is the Jewish-Lithuanian intellectual Jokubas Josade, and his revelations are often distressing, for his life consists of a series of betrayals (including that of self and of his talent) and of limitless fear and apprehension"--
