...spacious. While Mather House may look like the bastard child of Optimus Prime and a cement truck…well, isn’t that pretty badass? While the non-initiate might call it an "eyesore" or "big block of fugly," any Matherite will tell you that the exterior is redeemed by an enviable interior.

Their fated romance echoes Vilnius’ last breath of air, before it’s shut beneath the gray exterior of a Soviet sarcophagus. The remaining three narrators are peripheral characters in Vargalas’ life—Martinas, a pontificating computer(less) programmer, Stefanija, a jealous and infertile seductress, and Gediminias, a brilliant mathematician turned jazz artist. There is no dialogue among these characters, only isolated observations. This completes...
