Subicz was the name of an ancient ruling house of Dalmatia, which spanned present-day Croatia and Bosnia.) Of course, the more the writer Subicz explains to the agent Brodny why his—Subicz's—life can't be condensed for film, the more he ends up recounting that life itself: He narrates his birth in 1919 in Bessarabia, just after it had become annexed to Romania; his Austro-Dalmatian mother, who drags him around the Côte d'Azur as she flits between lovers, whom he calls "uncles" ("Bolivian tin-mine owners, Argentine cattle breeders, Irish beer kings, Dutch petroleum magnates," and a Romanian nobleman with Ottoman roots—"Uncle" Ferdinand—who might, but might not, be the boy's father); his mother's suicide, and his subsequent adoption by his mother's estranged family in squalid, disembourgeoised interwar Vienna; his schooldays rivalry with chronic masturbator-cum-convinced Nazi Cousin Wolfgang; his affair with a Jewish woman named Stella and his friendship with her husband, John, a British diplomat and spy, who introduces him to haute society just as it's collapsing.
