Description
The Topography of Pain is divided into three parts, each with its own protagonist and very distinctive plot, yet connected to reflect similar themes from very different angles and time periods. Present day: Naďa, a young woman whose diagnosis of her multiple sclerosis means she can no longer manage to do the normal part-time jobs students do, follows a classmate into selling her body via the internet to cover her study expenses. 1990s: Jaro, whom we discover to be Naďa's father, speaks about his illusions before the Velvet Revolution, about waiting for freedom, his hopes of a fairer world and about what actually happened after the regime change. 2040s: In the near future, where cities have joined to create huge agglomerations, social differences have become deeper and the boundary between the real and virtual has become blurred, Adam moves through this fluid world with unlimited energy and seems to be enjoying life. But he is finally caught up by the consequences of some very important and surprising decisions.
