Bech at Bay

Mehr zum Buch

Set in a surreal literary landscape, the story follows Henry Bech, now in his seventies, as he navigates a changing world where his books are commercialized and fleeting. Despite his age, he remains competitive and self-absorbed, confronting critics with a mix of humor and defiance. Throughout five striking chapters, Bech's journey includes enacting revenge and ultimately winning a prestigious writing award, all while embodying a blend of grit and ennui in this mock-heroic exploration of a writer's life in modern America.
