Time and ?re, their ability to reshape and destroy, are central. Encoded in echo, wind, and smoke in the gesture and in the whisper the true nature of events is too intangible and ?eeting, too pregnant with the unknown, to provide any genuine certainty, and this is the real source of the townsfolks terror. Their misguided attempts to identify the elusive arsonist ultimately reveal the emptiness and inflexibility of their own lives. One of the most distinctive voices in 20th-century Czech letters, Hostovsks mix of mysticism, irony, and wit, all leavened by the in?uence of Expressionism on his early work, results in a richly textured narrative amid an atmosphere of growing peril that serves as a harbinger of the catastrophe to come.
