Cigarettes. Matthew H. H.

A delightful postmodern comedy of morals of the twentieth century, a novel about the molecular Brownian relations of the ghosts of several “lost generations”. It traces the fate of several dozen people from fairly successful New York families, therefore it is also a family saga, covering a significant piece of the twentieth century-from the 1930s to the 1960s. In addition, this is a novel about painting and art of the twentieth century, about the secret of creativity, about the true and imaginary values, about the originals and fakes. This is also a “romance of growing up”, as well as a fraudulent romance with his detective intrigue, secrets and unexpected plot turns. And of course, this is a book with many layers of irony, which are expertly collected in such an elegant Chinese casket-head-headed that to deal with “cigarettes”-continuous reader pleasure.
