Renier-Fréduman Mundil: The Gordian Love Tribe, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

A 30-year-old bank employee devotes his free time to helping others in need. Through this, he comes into contact with a young woman, a prostitute, whom he initially uses as a "tool." Naturally, love develops between the two, but for a specific reason, it remains unfulfilled, and must remain so. Flashbacks, written in a distinctive linguistic style and transporting us to bygone times, describe the roots of the two characters, beginning several centuries ago in Europe and eventually crossing over to America, until Jenny's "root line" ends in a dramatically escalating situation in Asia. A few general remarks are interwoven in a few places, as this is also a descriptive portrayal of various "manifestations of physical love, of sexuality," in which we are all more or less tightly wrapped, trapped, or have been gripped with varying degrees of intensity over the course of our lives.
