Erinnerungen an eine Ehe: Roman (German Edition) (2013)

I like the title "Memories of a Marriage," I like how succinct and direct it is. But this book was anything but that. I found this self-satisfied narrator to be odiously petty, judgmental and scheming; and I pretty much felt sorry for the slandered victim whose faulty marriage he investigates. ...

Matters of Honor (2007)

Most of the story is set in Harvard, but it’s less about college life than it is about the search of identity and life-long friendship. Early in the 1950s the three protagonists first meet when they move into the same suite of the college dormitory. Sam Standish – the narrator – is the son of an ...

Wartime Lies (1997)

Schmidt Delivered (2001)

”She wore the smallest of bikinis. Strings around her waist and between her legs that held in place a triangle of red cloth. Two smaller triangles of the same cloth attached to strings covered her nipples. Unbroken, luxurious tan; a salacious invitation to dream of the hours she spent lying in th...

As Max Saw It (1995)

Intriguing mix of characters in this one, and it took me a while to get into it, but eventually won me over. Max is an art queen who's hugely jaded, and the opening scene reminded me in a bad way of all those insufferable rich Manhattanites that Woody Allen is so fond of. Stick with it, as the st...
