Asymmetry

Beschreibung:

Verschmutzung / Wasserschaden; Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Gebrochener Buchrucken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt. In New York, Alice, a young editor, begins an affair with Ezra Blazer, a world-famous, much older writer. At Heathrow airport, Amar, an Iraqi-American economist en route to Kurdistan, finds himself detained for the weekend. What draws these characters together, and how do their lives connect? Playful and inventive, tender and humane, Asymmetry is a novel which illuminates the power plays and imbalances of contemporary life - between young and old, West and Middle East, fairness and injustice, talent and luck, and the personal and the political. It introduces a major new literary talent, writing about the world today with astonishing versatility, acuity and daring. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers dc2febc0-32fb-466e-8b70-d544cb6a22a4
