There are many stories of Haffner. Haffner is charming, morally
suspect, vain, obsessed by the libertine emperors. He is British
and Jewish and a widower. But this, the most secret story, is the
greatest of them all. In a forgotten spa town snug in the eastern
Alps, at the end of the twentieth century, Haffner is seeking a
cure, more women, and a villa that once belonged to his late wife.
But really he is trying to escape: from his family, his lovers, his
history, his entire Haffnerian condition. For Haffner is
seventy-eight. In other words, Haffner is too old to be a grown-up.
So unravels the plot of The Escape--a swift, sad farce of sexual
mayhem by a novelist The New York Times has called "a prodigy."
