This is the tragi-comic account of one man's life through the fate of his teeth; from the loss of his first milk tooth swallowed by his father in a prison camp, to the eventual fixture of a set of dentures. Devoting each chapter to a particular tooth, the unnamed narrator charts fifty years of East European history.
