Written immediately before her acclaimed Notebook trilogy, the works here oscillate between parables, surrealist anecdotes, and stories animated by a realism stripped to the bone. By turns harrowing and whimsical, cruel and sharply funny, Kristóf's world shifts our gaze to a shared reality, past and present. Here, exile and existential alienation are undeniable – as is the force of every sentence, making for extraordinary and essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated from French by Chris Andrews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46546391367916,"sku":"9780241774052","price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780241774052.jpg?v=1750034564","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/i-dont-care-by-agota-kristof-9780241774052","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
