Description:
“Polish detective Leszek investigates the death of a Ukrainian who fell from a cliff. His search for answers leads him through labyrinths of art, philosophy, and modern technologies. How is the philosopher Wittgenstein connected to this young man’s life? Why might Salvador Dalí’s work and biography hold the key to solving the circumstances of the young man’s death?
Fragments of Leszek’s own memories accompany him on his journey. Each answer that unveils new secrets helps him not only to solve the mysterious case but also to come to terms with his own past.
Perpignan Station, named after Dalí’s painting La Gare de Perpignan, is a bold novel with surrealistic elements, in which the mysterious story of the young man’s death is inseparably linked to the life of the artist.” Vikhola
