The Messiah Of Stockholm
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded - minor tear. Page Condition: Appears aged with slight yellowing.
A taut, intellectually dazzling novella, The Messiah of Stockholm tells the story of Lars Andemening, a Polish Ă©migrĂ© and Stockholm book reviewer who is convinced he is the lost son of Bruno Schulz â the legendary Polish-Jewish writer murdered by the Nazis in 1942. Consumed by an obsessive search for identity and literary inheritance, Lars's world fractures when a mysterious woman arrives claiming to possess Schulz's lost manuscript, the mythical The Messiah. Ozick constructs a haunting meditation on authorship, imagination, and the seductive danger of delusion, weaving together themes of Holocaust memory and the power of storytelling with precise, luminous prose. A masterwork of postmodern literary fiction, the novel argues that the line between inspiration and madness is as fragile as the pages of a manuscript long thought destroyed.
