Tolea, an eccentric middle-aged intellectual who has been dismissed from his job as a high school teacher on "moral grounds," is investigating his father's death forty years after the fact, and is drawn into a web of suspicion and black humor."Reading 'The Black Envelope,' one might think of the poisonous 'black milk' of Celan's 'Death Fugue' or the claustrophobic air of mounting terror in Mr. Appelfeld's 'Badenheim 1939.' . . . Mr. Manea offers striking images and insights into the recent experience of Eastern Europe."-New York Times Book Review 606 $aRomanian fiction 607 $aBucharest (Romania)$vFiction 615 0$aRomanian fiction. 676 $a859.334 700 $aManea$b Norman$0569765 701 $aCamiller$b Patrick$01761339 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827626503321 996 $aThe black envelope$94200714 997 $aUNINA
