John Boyne's new book is not only a "novel with a key", where many of the protagonists are real people, but also a psychological drama of considerable power, which clearly shows how easy it is to conquer the world, if you are willing to sacrifice your own soul. If you look closely, you can find stories everywhere, and where there are stories, there are plots. What else do you need a young man, who himself as if descended from the pages of a novel by Balzac or Forster? Maurice wants more than anything in the world to become a writer, and a chance meeting with a venerable writer, who has one rather creepy skeleton in his closet, becomes the necessary impetus for the hero's career in modern commercial literature. And then the stairway to heaven is built by itself, and its rungs are the heads of those on whom the new Rastignac treads. The most personal and poignant novel of the classic of modern Irish literature - also a sharp satire on the entire current literary and publishing world. After it, no book will ever seem like a book again.
