Ubojstvo komendatora 2: Preobrazbe metafore

The Tokyo painter is abandoned by his wife and the thirty-year-old portrait artist finds himself alone in the mountain house of the famous artist Tomohiko Amada. He discovers a strange painting in the attic and inadvertently sets in motion a circle of mysterious circumstances. To close it, he embarks on a journey that involves a mysterious bell, a dwarfish embodiment of an idea, an elegant businessman living at the other end of the valley, a thirteen-year-old girl who is too mature for her age, the Nazis and an assassination in Vienna during World War II, a pit in the woods behind the painter's house, and an underground inhabited by double metaphors. A sumptuous ode to love and loneliness, war and art, a tribute to The Great Gatsby, The Killing of the Commander is a brilliant figment of the imagination of one of today's greatest writers.
