So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts.

I know I shouldn’t want her, but that’s not stopping me from going after what I want. Jade McKay isn’t just beautiful, she’s temptation wrapped in one delicious package. The way she looks at me. The way she makes me lose control. The way she says my name. It’s everything. She’s everything. There’s only one problem — she’s my best friend’s sister and ten years younger than me. Completely off-limits… and impossible to resist. Now that we’ve crossed that line, there’s no going back. I’m not letting anyone or anything stand between us. Because Jade isn’t what I want, she’s what I need.

Balla is often described as "the Slovak Kafka" for his depictions of the absurd and the mundane. In the Name of the Father features a nameless narrator reflecting on his life, looking for someone else to blame for his failed relationship with his parents and two sons, his serial adultery, the breakup of his marriage, and his wife's descent into madness. Against the backdrop of their stiflingly gray provincial lives, he completely fails to act against "the thing" growing in the cellar of the house he built with his brother.
