When Russian tanks roll into the general public squares of Budapest to crush the Hungarian Revolution, brothers Robert and Attila Beck flee with the family to the Paris townhouse of the great-aunt Hermina. The entire year is 1956, and since their country changes forever, these two young boys transform as well, confronting risk and wonders previously unknown. Because they travel through minefields both real and thought, Robert and Attila grapple with sibling rivalry, family secrets, and incalculable damage. On the way they encounter mysterious fellow travelers, bewildering places of a land in change, and unexpected hilarity, all in search of the main one place they thought they'd lost forever: home. Elegant, tender, and deeply funny, Joseph Kertes has constructed a journey filled with experience and heartbreak. A yoga on both family and displacement, The Afterlife of Superstars is a tale of perseverance, trust, and the unbreakable connection of brotherhood.
