The File on H is loosely based on the expeditions of Millman Parry and Albert Lord to collect epic songs in the Balkans (presented in several books, including Lord’s ground-breaking classic The Singer of Tales, which Tripod has in several editions); aside from the Albanian locals it presents two Irish graduate students from the United States. Though extremely well-informed about history and politics, Kadare is typically most interested in moral and poetic questions. Ismail Kadare's The File on H. is a clever, witty, and fast-paced book.
