Group Portrait with Lady by Heinrich Boll
Cited by the Nobel Prize committee as the crown of Heinrich B ll's work, the gripping story of>Group Portrait With Lady unspools like a suspenseful documentary. Via a series of tense interviews, an unnamed narrator uncovers the story--past and present--of one of B ll's most intriguing characters, the enigmatic Leni Pfeiffer, a struggling war widow. At the center of her struggle is her effort to prevent the demolition of her Cologne apartment building, a fight in which she is joined by a motley group of neighbors. Along with her illegitimate son, Lev, she becomes the nexus of a countercultural group rebelling against Germany's dehumanizing past under the Nazis . and what looks to be an equally dehumanizing future under capitalism.| SKU | Unavailable |
