Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Bruno's Conversion, a transformative exploration of faith and modern love, Bruno Kirsch, a divorced middle-aged professor of French literature, finds himself stranded in Miami Beach over Christmas break when his "shiksa" lover, Mary-whose idea it was to vacation there-abandons him for home back in New York City.Soon after, Bruno sets his sights on a striking one-legged woman named Suzie, whom he spots on his morning walk along the beach, and quickly develops an all-consuming obsession over how to approach her. While he fantasizes about their future love, the Hasids of Miami Beach act as a potent reminder of his heritage and conflicted faith. Eventually caught in a hypnotic tourist trap, a disoriented Bruno is forced to confront his religious convictions, his objectification of women, and his strange new independence. Inescapably unforgiving and darkly comical, Tsipi Keller's Bruno's Conversion cleverly captures the post-divorce single life of middle-aged men and all their vulnerabilities."Bruno is querulous, often insufferably so, but I cheered for his pedantic contentiousness, his restless need for debate, his investment in too many meanings, even if it curses him to loneliness." -Full Stop "Masterful in her articulation of Bruno's dreams and insecurities, Keller presents a lost soul on a possible path to redemption-or a nightmare. The story is imbued with a delicious sense of rising menace and, as the final page is reached, the reader only wishes the harrowing pleasure did not have to end." -Janice Ellsworth, Author.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The setting for Tsipi Keller's new novel, Nadja on Nadja, is New York City-its neighborhoods, its streets, its people-where 'humanity, as if spellbound, is approaching the end of the millennium.' Working for a living, Nadja, a girl-woman in her thirties, doesn't delude herself. Corporations, she knows, are dictatorships comprised of many low-level tyrants; she must either subjugate herself, or suffer the consequences. In the words of author Bruce Benderson: 'Yet another novelistic feat by Tsipi Keller who tackles the enigmatic social transactions that make us part of the human collective without our ever being able to breach the isolation of the self. Working for a man she detests, Nadja, like a thief, writes a novel on the sly, while contending with other deceptions in her life. Like the rest of us, she is two people: that recognizable and functional social being we show to everyone; and a second self, the intuitive, discerning side of Nadja, delving into a secluded world of true vision.'
