Etat : Gut. VIII, 289 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - 'I don't know very much about Irene Dische, ' Michael Hofmann wrote in The Times. 'An American of German extraction who has been living in Berlin for longer than most Americans, she seems equally at home in both languages - or equally uneasy, I should say - and she writes a fascinating, mermaid version of English. 'First she published a novel, Pious Secrets, about a Hitler who had stayed alive, reformed, and emigrated to the New York suburbs. This preposterous notion was grafted on to a wonderfully detailed and felt account of immigrant family life . Then Dische presented a book of short stories, The Jewess: Stories from Berlin and New York. There is in Dische . a small wildness, to which I am addicted, and which I find in her use of words, her humour, her love of detail, her way of matching ravage and serenity . The lives and circumstances she describes are as highly and strangely flavoured as her prose . Dische takes the eccentric and makes it persuasive, without explaining it away. ' Here in her latest fiction, Irene Dische tells the least predictable of love stories against a backdrop of the reunification of Germany. A gay mathematical physicist and member of the dislocated German aristocracy, Benedikt eschews human company, preferring calculations to emotions. Yet with the onset of his serious illness a bizarre group of people enters his life: a poor Russian woman, her terrified young son and the East-German ex-housekeeper of Albert Einstein. The clashing chords and quiet refrains that accompany Benedikt 's subsequent path to redemption confirm Irene Dische's reputation as a dazzling original.
