Taxidermia

Gyorgy Palfi's Taxidermia tells the stories of three generations of Hungarian men (one a sexually frustrated, low-life, peeping-tom soldier, his son who is an obese Communist champion speed eater, and the grandson, a twisted taxidermist who is trying to invent a machine so he can embalm himself) while at the same time satirically mocking Hungary's struggles as it passes from imperial servitude, through Soviet authority, to independent lethargy.
