Summary

Jean - Philippe Toussaint: The Truth about Mary

Storm, night, wind, rain, fire, lightning, sex and death - this is how The Truth about Mary begins. "Later, when I thought again about the dark hours of that hot dog night, I realized that we made love at the same moment, Marija and I, but not with each other," writes the narrator, long and forever in love with the capricious, world-famous fashion designer Marija, in the third part of the "tetralogy" written by the writer about this heroine (it is preceded by Leading Love and Bežanje, followed by Gola). Although these four novels are partially connected to each other, each one is a whole on its own.

On the mentioned stormy night in Marija's apartment, a man died, her occasional lover, an aristocrat and breeder of thoroughbred horses. She calls for the help of her recent sweetheart, the narrator of the story, and he reconstructs the story about Maria and that other man based on facts and guesses. The middle part of the novel is devoted to the adventures of one of his thoroughbred horses at races in Tokyo. The scene of loading that horse into a cargo plane at the Tokyo airport, in the pouring rain, when the horse runs away on the dark airport runways while the chasers in cars follow him with headlights and sirens, critics evaluate as "anthology". No less exciting is the fire on the island of Elba, which will bring Maria and her loyal fan closer again (permanently?)...
