Inhaltsangabe

In the apocalyptic novel Coming from-Key Time, Bogdan Suceava satirizes events in his native Romania since the fateful end of the Ceauseseu regime in 1989. Using three interrelated narratives to illustrate the destructive power of Romanian society's most powerful mythologies, he depicts madness of all kinds---but especially religious beliefs and their perversion by outrageous seets. Here horror and humor reside impossibly in the same time and place, and readers experience the vertigo of living in the middle of a violent historical upheaval

Coming from an Off-Key Time suggests the influence of such writers as Mikhail Bulgakov, the fantastic satirist of the early Soviel Union, as Suceava engages the complexities of a quickly changing country in search of its bearings and suspicious of its past.
