Now also available in paperback.
Two men, one city, a soul-devouring environment—and no way out. Moritz Gamehill presents himself as a successful management consultant; Sam is undone by his own inflexibility. Both refuse to accept that people like them are increasingly consigned to insignificance as they grow older.
A first-person narrator who is friends with both men follows their paths, their women, and their self-deceptions. A novel about masculinity, friendship, and the slow disappearance from one’s own life—sharp, cynical, and unsettling.
A novel that combines Bukowski’s social coldness with Houellebecq’s sharp social critique.
