Editor's Note:
Trestajúci zločin (1995) patrí k najúspešnejším prózam autora, ktorý sa do slovenskej literatúry zapísal ako hĺbkový analytik hraničných ľudských situácií. Román je tragickým príbehom Ondreja Ostarka, poslucháča I. ročníka právnickej fakulty, ktorého spolu s jeho otcom, majiteľom obchodu s textilom, po nespravodlivom obvinení odsúdia r. 1949 do väzenia vo Valdiciach. Otec vo väzení zomiera a syn po amnestii r. 1956 začína síce nový život, no nemôže sa zbaviť traumy väzenského pekla. Trestajúci zločin patrí k dielam, ktoré významným spôsobom prispeli k vyrovnávaniu sa s dedičstvom totalitnej minulosti v podmienkach porevolučného Slovenska, no odkaz ktorých je univerzálny.
