Joseph Geist has hit a rough patch. His supervisor kicked him out of graduate school, and his friend kicked him out of his apartment. He was left without a roof over his head and without his favorite books. A backpack with pitiful belongings on his back and Nietzsche’s head under his arm – that’s all the property of the young philosopher. But life again turns its face towards him - or rather, a newspaper with an unusual advertisement, which seems very intriguing to Joseph... The new novel by the author of "Genius", full of literary games, echoes of Dostoevsky and Nietzsche and charming irony, is an exquisite thriller with a bewitching plot about choice what we do and its consequences. Jesse Kellerman knows how to please the reader by presenting very difficult ideas in an incredibly attractive way.
