Through the internationally best-selling writer Daniel Kehlmann, a provocative and wickedly funny novel about two unstable men–one an artist and the other a journalist, who along embark on an urgent excursion with uproarious results.
Sebastian Zollner’s inability as a journalist is matched up only by his personal failures: his sweetheart is moving in a new lover before Sebastian even has learned he’s been dumped. Searching for the rest that will redeem him in the sight of his peers, he heads off on the wild goose run after into the mountains to interview the eccentric, legendary painter Manuel Kaminski, with the hope of writing his biography.
Kaminski is certainly going blind and is also residing in seclusion with his princess. He could be focusing on his next masterpiece or easing into his final days and nights, and his inconsistent profession raises the question of whether he has been a fraudulence or a genius. His imaginative reputation hinges on any number of factors but most prominently on the definitive biography. Enter Zollner–who has no intent of writing a puff piece. He’s out to dig dirt and grime and to force Kaminski to confront the legacy of his work. But the secrets he uncovers will lead Kaminski, and Zollner himself, to places neither of these ever likely to go.
With edgy wit and cleverness, Daniel Kehlmann dives into the problems of what is “fact” inside our celebrity-crazed times and embraces the energy and humanity that lie beneath the pretensions of the artwork and journalistic worlds. A firecracker of your novel.
