Fiction

In this wildly imaginative display of storytelling, an obsessive book editor abandons the pressures of his professional life and seeks contemporary Bohemia in the Uber-rational city of Frankfurt -- accompanied by his enigmatic girlfriend, their barkless basenji dog, and an unpublishable manuscript of questionable origin and multiple voices. What follows is a feisty head-on collision of fiction and reality. Anyone deep in a tortured relationship will love the bittersweet conflict between domesticity and the pursuit of an artful life.
