Decompression by Juli Zeh
Theo is a middle-aged author with writers' block; his partner Jola is a beautiful and privileged soap star who wants very much to be taken seriously. In an attempt to save her dying career, Jola is determined to land the lead role in a new film about underwater photographer and model Lotte Hass.
Zeh's award-winning thriller climaxes with a scene of splendid drama * Guardian *
Deftly translated by John Cullen.. Zeh plays with our expectations throughout... Like The Method, this is a story about obsession – this time with status, looks, and celebrity culture * Independent *
Erotic intrigue, deep-sea diving and clients from hell make for a lively mix...The gathering suspense is complemented by nuanced characterization in a pleasingly unpredictable work * Kirkus Reviews *
