Gloria, the sexy, clever, appealing narrator of David Flusfeder's brilliant third novel, is thrown into a series of adventures after the fake suicide of her sole client, a Jewish tycoon in occupied Warsaw. She is dragged into a plot to assassinate Igo Sym, one of several real-life figures appearing in the novel: a Polish movie star who became "Volkdeutsch" during the Nazi occupation.
Murder, comedy, paranoia, heartache and depth psychology . . . these are the threads running through this vividly readable new novel. In original, sensual prose, Flusfeder has woven a novel both entertaining and thoughtful, preoccupied by war, by he idea of "psychic infection", by sexual and physical power, by danger and the exotic.
