About this book
Description
Stingo, our young Southern narrator. Manuscript reader for a major publisher...or...a genuine novelist soaking up the experiences that one day will re-emerge as stories of great power and precision. Nathan Landau. A charming sophisticate possessed of great intelligence...or...a classic schizophrenic, a manic depressive with a consuming distrust of his lover's fidelity. Sophie Zawistowska, the Polish Catholic immigrant, forever stamped with her decision in a Nazi Concentration Camp. Having already chosen between her homeland and freedom, she must ultimately choose between life alone and death in the arms of her lover.
Three stories are told: a young Southerner wants to become a writer; a turbulent love-hate affair between a brilliant Jew and a beautiful Polish woman; and of an awful wound in that woman's past--one that impels both Sophie and Nathan toward destruction.
