AMERICAN LITERATURE - FREDERICK BUSCH: MEMORY OF WAR - NRF - COLLECTION BLANCHE

402 pages 14 x 20.5 cm.


Alex Lescziak spins the wrong cotton.
This New York psychotherapist is unable to listen to his patients, assailed by an anarchic flood of memories and intimate obsessions: his mistress has disappeared, and his wife is undoubtedly cheating on him with her best friend. And now a man appears in his office who claims to be his half-brother: their mother, a Polish Jew who took refuge in England, allegedly had an affair in 1944 with a German prisoner ...
Alex then begins to imagine this romance, while tracking down clues in his childhood memories. Since her beautiful family romance collapses, what remains of her identity? This creaking tragicomedy endlessly blurs the lines between past and present, public and intimate, America and Europe. The figures that parade in the cabinet and in Alex's memory draw an unhappy and valiant humanity, whose weapons against despair are humor and sex.
And Alex himself, an eternal irresponsible child, in search of truth in the gray areas of memory, is the unforgettable embodiment of all those born afterwards.
