Klappentext Set in New York City in the months preceding 9/11! this novel introduces us to the protagonist who! like the author himself! is a Romanian professor in exile and who struggles with loneliness! dislocation! the desire to hide. "'An intelligent, erudite, inexhaustible story-teller, in his essays as much as in his fiction, Norman Manea is above all a witness, someone who has lived to tell the tale. In The Lair, as in all his work, we find the defining experiences of the twentieth century - the death camps, deportation, totalitarianism (both Fascism and Communism), marginalisation, deracination, exile, self-regeneration - filtered through the sensibility of one of its most astute survivors.' (Costa Bradatan, The Times Literary Supplement) 'An acclaimed novel of love, isolation and the disorientation of being submerged in another culture.' (Granta)" Zusammenfassung Now available for the first time in English, Manea’s acclaimed novel of émigrés in America, free yet imprisoned by the past
