The narrator, Jerzyk (?little Jerzy?), is a teenager who is keenly interested in his father, a retired postal administrator, and his father?s closest friend, Mr. Traba, a failed Lutheran clergyman, alcoholic, and would-be Polish insurrectionist. One drunken afternoon, Mr. Traba and the narrator?s father decide to take charge of their lives and do one final good turn for humanity: travel to distant Warsaw and assassinate the de facto Polish head of state, First Secretary of the Polish United Workers? Party, Wladyslaw Gomulka?assassinating Mao Tse-tung, after all, would be impractical. And they decide to involve Jerzyk in their scheme... Translated from the Polish by David Frick
