In den WarenkorbZustand: FINE. First printing. Fifth novel by the author best known for the literate thriller 'Tony and Susan'. "Sometimes indecipherable, often intriguing, this literary and existential mystery-within-a-novel opens with a man writing about his life. The man reveals that he was formerly known as Peter Gregory, a 35-year-old high… school English teacher with an ex-wife and kids, who tried unsuccessfully to drown himself in the Ohio River. Fleeing a past that may have involved the murder of his neighbor with a hammer, he hitches rides east, assuming and discarding aliases along the way. When an eccentric billionaire summons him to his New York office and gives him a grant he can't refuse - $30 million to become yet another new person and cut all ties to the past - he becomes the miraculously fortunate Stephen Trace. Unfortunately for Trace, the detritus of Peter Gregory's life keeps resurfacing. Wright skillfully conveys how we choose to elude our pasts rather than face them, molding ourselves into different people for separate occasions." (Kirkus Reviews)" 292 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.
