Dit is die jaar 1901. Die son het gesak oor ’n verskroeide landskap, en die landskap verwelkom die duister. Die doringdraad en tentrye van die konsentrasiekamp is nog net ’n swart vlek op die vlakte.

Die een wat vanuit die nag sou kyk, sou ook op die kampbed die regop gestalte van ’n...

Anton Nigov ei ole pseudonüüm. See on minu nimi. Nagu Gustave Flaubert öelda suvatses: Emma Bovary, c'est moi. Mina ütlen: Anton Nigov olen mina. Aga mitte nii nagu Flaubert. Madame Bovary oli kangelane (-lanna, mõistagi), Monsieur Nogov on autor. Viibides Tõnu Õnnepalu nime all Pariisis ja juhatades sealset Eesti Instituuti, pani ta ühtlasi kirja need märkmed. Neis on kõik tõsi.
