Association anonymous Mortals

Arto Paasilina seems to think that we can laugh at almost everything and especially suicide. Everything starts with two men, a colonel who does not support her widowhood and entrepreneur who is not recovering from yet another bankruptcy. They want to commit suicide but they are at the same time and same place to achieve their sinister purpose. It is then impossible to commit suicide without being alone and this fact will eventually be the red thread of the book. Being together, even when one is suicidal, does not facilitate the transition to the act ... The colonel and the contractor an ad spend to bring all that suicidal wish. From here going from a completely wacky journey by bus through Europe, where the destinations tend to become steps to reverse the fatal date.

Good "troublemaker depress round," the author knows fun with this inauspicious topic: Colonel implements military strategies for his pathetic suicidal troops, German hooligans are routed, both characters play souls to poker ... The tone is to absurdity and outrageousness. He plays on the ambivalence of the group, torn between his suicidal tendencies and yet his instinct for survival and making it a true comic relief. Thus the group is outraged when he learns that one of the characters is actually a contagious and incurable disease and had not warned. The author happens to not be superficial despite the lightness of treatment, indulging in passing his thoughts and even some environmental considerations. This gives an incredible tale to be too philosophical but not serious enough to be insignificant.
