Composed of a series of letters between a husband and wife, ?The Sinking
of the Odradek Stadium?is a brilliant comedy about love and longing,
dashed hopes and frustrations, and trying to make connections. Newly
wedded Zachary McCaltex (a librarian in Miami) and Twang Panattapam
(originally from the Southeast-Asian country of Pan-Nam, but residing in
Italy) try to trace the whereabouts of a treasure supposedly lost off
the coast of Florida in the sixteenth century, while navigating a
relationship separated by an ocean as well as their different cultures.
In the end, the postal service may be responsible for what gets lost
(including Zachary's sanity) along the way.
