Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:Set in the colourful, threatened world of occupied Warsaw just before the Holocaust, this third novel by a highly praised writer tells the story of Gloria, a young Freudian analyst whose sole client, a Jewish tycoon, fakes his own suicide and thereby drags Gloria into a web of intrigue, deception and betrayal.
Gloria, the sexy, clever, appealing narrator of David Flusfeder’s brilliant third novel, is thrown into a series of adventures after the faked suicide of her sole client, a Jewish tycoon in occupied Warsaw. She is dragged into a plot to assassinate Igo Sym, one of several real-life figures appearing in the novel: a Polish movie star who became ‘Volkdeutsch’ during the Nazi occupation.
Murder, comedy, paranoia, heartache and depth psychology...these are the threads running through this vividly readable new novel by the author of ‘MAN KILLS WOMAN’ and ‘LIKE PLASTIC’. In original, sensual prose, Flusfeder has woven a novel both entertaining and thoughtful, preoccupied by war, by the idea of ‘psychic infection’, by sexual and physical power, by danger and the exotic.
Somewhere in Europe, these events took place. In a city threatened by invasion and inhabited by a divided population, Gloria, an ambitious young psychologist, is on a mission to cure men’s souls. When Solomon Heller, a notorious tycoon with digestive problems, asks to be her only client, Gloria acquiesces, although it’s not easy to give up a potentially fruitful relationship with her favourite client, the actor Igo Sym.
Everything is changed by war, the city is transformed, and Gloria abandons her profession – or tries to – but Sym and Heller, even in absence, continue to influence Gloria’s increasingly dangerous world of conspirators, collaborators and stars. Paranoia, comedy, glamour and heartache: Morocco is imbued with the personality of an appealing narrator whose frailty and courage force her into situations beyond her control. In precise and sensual prose, David Flusfeder has written a novel both dramatically entertaining and morally challenging, on the efforts made to live ordinary lives in extraordinary times.
