Críticas:
Praise for Nicholas Mosley: "Mosley's dialogue is a deliciously dotty exercise in existential inquiry, reading at times like a poker-faced collaboration between Samuel Beckett and Gracie Allen."
"Mosley is that rare bird: an English writer whose imagination is genuinely inspired by intellectual conundrums."
"One of the most compelling writers in the English language today."
Reseña del editor:
"Mosley is that rare bird: an English writer whose imagination is genuinely inspired by intellectual conundrums."
"One of the most compelling writers in the English language today."
"Mosley is the most serious and brilliant of Britain's novelists of ideas."--Times (UK)
Hafiz is a twenty-five-year-old Muslim doing post-graduate work in genetics at the University of Beirut. He is one of a team working on the possibility of fashioning a biological weapon that would be effective against some ethnic groups and not others. This project seems to him impossible, but still highly dangerous.
Lisa is a sixteen-year-old Israeli girl who feels threatened by the Jewish insistence on dwelling on memories of the Holocaust. She looks for a way out to a future.
Maurice Rotblatt is a middle-aged ex-television-guru who comes to the Middle East and calls for a plague on all ethnic and religious belligerants. He then disappears. His friends in England wonder - is he a victim? A trickster? Or has he left hints about some hope for a future?
The story ends in September 2001. It is by the capacity to understand the interweaving actions and aspirations of many different characters - in Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, England - that there might be a chance, it seems, for humans to be nudged out of their self-destructive genetic and environmental conditioning.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Set amid the current tension and violence of the Middle East, Whitbread Award-winning Nicholas Mosley's new novel features over a half-dozen characters searching for a way to quell the selfdestructive impulses of society. As the novel develops, the actions and aspirations of these characters--which include a Muslim student working on the most deadly of biological weapons, a young Israeli girl trapped in a temple's ruins, and an eccentric ex-guru who has mysteriously disappeared--create a textual and philosophical pattern illustrating the role chance and coincidence play in our world. In the vein of Hopeful Monsters and The Hesperides Tree, Mosley mixes science, philosophy and contemporary politics around the question of how individual actions can influence the world.
