Rupert: A Confession - Hardcover

"This novel Belongs to The Tradition of Classical Literature which is in Principle Self-Referential.... Rupert is A Playful, Exceptionally Witty, Ironic Variant of This."

"Frenzied in its imagination, unusually spirited, beautifully lyrical and furthermore, unexpectedly intense when the hero's sexual perversions hit the page. A pleasure to read."

"Rupert is an astonishing work of art. Astonishing in its imaginative force, its adventurous concept and its just as daring denouement. . . . Phew, what language, what a book. Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer is a writer to cherish."

" The author insinuates crisp, titillating description and delights in relaying voyeurism, presenting a deliberate provocation to readers."--Publishers Weekly

Rupert has been accused of a terrible crime, and his imagined defense begins the night he met the love of his life, Mira. By turns shockingly honest, incredibly funny, and clearly unhinged, Rupert's defense includes rants about the properly formed insult and men who wear comfortable sweaters. It also visits the memory-sites of Rupert and Mira's short-lived affair: her apartment, their favorite cafes and restaurants, and the city's public squares.
