The Book of Things Unknown

Andrei Dîrlău

Published by Road to Emmaus Foundation in 2020-11-25

Taking Jorge Luis Borges' famous story "The Zahir" as a reference or "hypotext," The Book of Things Unknown offers a surprising variant. Set in the cultural framework of post-Communist Orthodox Romania, Simon Palamas' love of books, his marriage, and his travels lead him on a spiritual and literary quest through diverse religious and literary traditions (Chinese mythology; Sufi; Hindu and Buddhist mysticism; and both Western and Eastern Orthodox Christianity), yielding an astonishing end to the journey.
