"Belladonna is brutal, beautiful, and unforgettable . . . One of
the truly outstanding novels of recent years" EILEEN BATTERSBY, Los
Angeles Review of Books ** Winner of the Warwick Prize for Women in
Translation 2018** ** Shortlisted for the inaugural E.B.R.D. Prize
for Literature ** ** Shortlisted for the Oxford-Weidenfeld
Translation Prize ** An excoriating work of fiction that references
the twentieth century's darkest hours Andreas Ban is a writer and a
psychologist, an intellectual proper, but his world has been
falling apart for years. When he retires with a miserable pension
and finds out that he is ill, he gains a new perspective on the
debris of his life and the lives of his friends. In defying illness
and old age, Andreas Ban is cynical and powerful, and in his
unravelling of his own past and the lives of others, he
uncompromisingly lays bare a gamut of taboos. Andreas Ban stands
for a true hero of our times; a castaway intellectual of a society
which subdues every critical thought under the guise of political
correctness. Belladonna addresses some of the twentieth century's
worst human atrocities in a powerful fusion of fiction and reality,
the hallmark of one of Europe's finest contemporary writers.
