As death approaches, scriptwriter Philip Nilson spends his last days writing about a forgotten, yet critical, moment in the life of Greta Garbo, recollecting her journey to Constantinople in 1924, where she became one of th most dominant icons of the twentieth century, forever capturing the imagination and love of Philip, in a novel that captures a moment in cinematic history and explores the mysterious nature of idolatry. Reprint.
Review:
"Divorced, dying and Catholic, Nilson is naturally of a mind to confess, and his self-accusation has a nicely baroque, Nabokovian tone. Nevertheless, the chronicle of his profanations seems awfully long and convoluted for this short book...."
James J. Uebbing, New York Times Book Review, 01/20/2002
