"Disturbing, compelling, beautifully translated." (The Times). Eleven-year-old Djata makes sure he is always home on Sundays. "Electric, urgent, luminous...a coming-of-age with a difference." (Daily Mail).
While he waits, Djata lives out a life of adventure. It is the day the State Security came to take his father away, and he believes it will be a Sunday when his father finally comes home again. He plays wargames in flaming wheat fields; hunts for gold in abandoned claymines; watches porn in a backroom at the cinema, and plays chess with an automaton.
But lurking beneath his rebel boyhood, pulling at his heartstrings, is the continued absence of his father. When he finally uncovers the real truth, he risks losing his childhood for ever. With The White King, Gyorgy Dragoman won the prestigious Sandor Marai prize.
An urgent, humorous and melancholy picture of a childhood behind the Iron Curtain it introduces a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction.
