Publisher's Synopsis
A young university student named Jurek is drifiting through life with no particular ambitions or talents. After his doting aunt asks him to perform a small chore, he decides to kill her for no good reason other than, perhaps, boredom. As he seeks to dispose of the corpse - a task more difficult than one might imagine - he falls in love with a girl he meets on a train. Can he tell her what he's done? Will that ruin everything? 'I'm convinced - simply - that we are all guilty', he says, as his adventures with nosey neighbours, false-toothed grandmothers, and love-making lynxes shed light on how an entire society becomes involved in the murder and disposal of dear old Auntie.
