Opis
The title alludes to the infamous 1970 experiment by neurosurgeon Robert White, where a monkey's head was grafted onto another monkey's body. This gruesome procedure resulted in a conscious, aware monkey which experienced the horror of its situation.
Eye of the Monkey begins in the wake of a devastating civil war that led to the formation of the United Regency, an autocracy in an unnamed European country. The ravages of war are sweeping, and the populace has been divided into segregated zones, where the well-off are under mass surveillance and the poor are phantom presences, confined and ghettoised.
On the verge of a nervous breakdown after being stalked for weeks by a young man, Giselle, a history professor at the New University, seeks the help of Dr. Mihály Kreutzer, a psychiatrist who is navigating divorce and the recent death of his mother. They soon begin a torrid love affair, but everything is not what it seems. As Giselle begins to unpack her family history and the possible root of her psychological crisis, Dr. Kreutzer, who has ties to some of the most powerful people in the country, possesses ulterior motives of his own.
In Tóth's deftly woven, dystopian, and polyphonic novel – full of twists, turns, and treachery – we plumb the depths of a fractured, disturbed, and isolated society, as well as the underbelly of social perversions such a society produces.
