Description

From the award-winning author of Art and Desolation comes this bitingly funny new novel that follows the absurd adventures of a man struggling with a midlife crisis.

Adam Haberberg is losing his sight in his left eye. His new book is a flop. And his marriage isnt doing too well. But while sitting one day on a park bench, he sees an old friend from high school, Marie Thrse, and suddenly his whole life seems to change. Adam soon finds that his own life has somehow become intertwined with Marie Thrses, throwing everything into question. A wry tragicomedy and a nuanced study of a man in the throes of an existential crisis, Adam Haberberg has the same wit and panache that have marked all of Yasmina Rezas work to date.
