His first novel - and not nearly as good as ULoB. Set in Communist Prague. Different chapters told by different protagonists, so the plot overlaps. Mostly revolving around a man expelled from the Party for an inappropriate joke (apparently supporting Trotsky) and other misunderstandings that blight his life. Vividly, and sadly, portrays the frustrations and hypocrisy of Communist control.
