A major new novel about sex and the citizen by the award-winning
author of Being Dead
The timid life of actor Felix Dern is uncorrupted by Hollywood,
where his success has not yet been shackled with any intrusive
fame. But in the theaters and the restaurants of his own city,
"Lix" is celebrated and admired for his looks, for his voice, and
for his unblemished private life. He has succeeded in courting
popularity everywhere, this handsome hero of the left, this
charming darling of the right, this ever-twisting weather vane.
A perfect life? No, he is blighted. He has been blighted since his
teens, for every woman he sleeps with bears his child. So now it is
Mouetta's turn. Their baby's due in May. Lix wants to say he feels
besieged. Another child? To be so fertile is a curse...
In" Genesis," Jim Crace, winner of the National Book Critics'
Circle Award and the Whitbread Novel of the Year, charts the sexual
history of a loving, baffled man, the sexual emancipation of a
city, and the sexual ambiguities of humankind.
