Throughout the novel, Kiš inserts characters who are extremely complex, with multiple aliases, murky histories and something sinister about them. However, all of his protagonists (within each chapter) seem to be uncomfortable with their origins. G. Verschoyle had a revulsion for his native land, while Taub preferred to speak Russian over his native German. What do you make of these characters' reluctance to confront the past?
