THE ASSIGNMENT; Or, On the Observing of the Observer of the Observers
Seller: Alta-Glamour Inc., Seattle, WA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
1st Am edition. 129pp., translated from the German by Joel Agee. From the moment F., a female filmmaker, accepts "the assignment" to go to the Al-Hakim ruin to investigate the rape and murder of a psychiatrist's wife, she finds herself the central character in a deepening mystery. Even more unnerving, F. is trapped in an increasingly apocalyptic landscape riddled with political intrigue, crimes of mistaken identity, espionage and terrorism. Written in a blinding heat (each of the twenty-four chapters is one fluid, riveting sentence), Durrenmatt offers a fierce meditation on the ambiguities of the self, the vicissitudes of relations between men and women, and the complicity in corruption among world powers. Cloth spine and boards in dust jacket. Light shelfwear. Very good. Seller Inventory # 15637
