Representaion Toward Books Landscape Painted with Tea

By the author of the highly acclaimed literary bestseller Dictionary of the Khazars, this is a tale of a mysterious quest that is part modern Odyssey and part crossword puzzle. It begins with the story of a brilliant but failed architect in Belgrade and his search for his father, an officer who vanished in Greece during World War II.

The truth about his fate--some of it set in motion 2,000 years ago and some of it by the Nazis--is raveled in the history and secrets of Mount Athos, the most ancient of all monasteries, perched atop its inaccessible mountain on the Aegean.

"A hugely ambitious, playful, inventive, demanding, magical, linguistically sensuous reading experience."--The Washington Post

"A brilliantly playful and haunting novel."--The New York Times Book Review

This is one of the craziest books I've ever read.

Not sure what to make of this puzzle! This is my first pavic's work and instead of starting with the most famous Dictionary of the Khazar's I have started with this. I guess the title looked interesting or the fact that reading a novel in crossword sounded interesting for my ears. Probably both were the factors. While the writer is gifted with his language - the striking imagery (reminding me of Hrabal), classical aphoristic dialogues, deep knowledge in various cultures and history and many

Brilliant, beautiful, weird, obtuse, and ultimately satisfying if you let it be what it is. If a novel is a road to somewhere and you occasionally look out the window, you'll hate this book. If the road is a means to experience things as they come then read this book. It takes a certain sense of whimsy, and a love of unusual language. If you like Marquez and Murakami, this is the deep end of the pool.

Poetry through and through. Every senntence in this novel is a punchline.

Some diminishing returns on the dictionary, and more drags among the flights of fantasy, but it's still thrilling and like little else
