The Laughter of the Gods is a realist and surrealist novel set against the backdrop of a real and shocking historical event: the crash of Flight PS752. With a layered “book within a book” structure, the novel draws the reader into a world where the boundaries between reality and dream, death and identity, are constantly shifting.

Death itself is the narrator, a voice pursuing a forbidden love and a journey of self-discovery. In the world of this novel, there are no heroes; the characters are people burdened by emotional and sexual voids, as well as by chosen and unchosen responsibilities, becoming at once both the heroes and antiheroes of their own lives.
