Synopsis
An irresistible and poignant novel about the upper echelons of Berlin society, a grand literary celebration, and the after-party that upends the night and carries a group of guests deeper into the cityNaema, an elderly princess dedicated to her pet causes, is in a bind: struck by a malady that maroons her in Montreux, she&’s unable to host an exclusive gala dinner in Berlin to honor the author Masud al-Huzeil for his lifetime achievement in Arabic literature. Not only is she unable to attend, RSVPs have been slow to materialize, and she&’s reduced to begging the ancient award winner to find some attendees at the last minute. Masud invites his old friend Demian, a native Berliner, who in turn invites his two best friends: the troubled innocent Livia and an American publisher, Toto, who will do anything for a free meal.But Toto doesn&’t come alone. In tow are his younger Internet date—she&’s stood him up often enough to be nicknamed &“the Flake&”—and Demian&’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Nicole. Not to mention the cop who&’s been trailing Nicole since she left the red-light district. Presiding over the affair is Naema&’s infinitely rich, endlessly disaffected grandson, Prince Radi, whose pass at Nicole culminates in an epic midnight food run that changes all their lives.With sophistication and tenderness, Nell Zink weaves a vividly colored tapestry of a milieu at odds with itself, taking her trademark ambiguity, daring, and humor to new heights.
