Nat Tate

Penguin Books, Limited, 2020. Paperback. Pp: 63. On January 8 1960, artist Nat Tate set out to burn his entire life's work. Four days later he jumped off a Staten Island ferry, killing himself. His body was never found. When William Boyd published his biography of Abstract Expressionist Nat Tate, tributes poured in from a whole host of artists and critics in the New York art world. They toasted the troubled genius in a Manhattan launch party attended by David Bowie and Gore Vidal. But Nat Tate never existed. The book was a hoax. Will Boyd's biography of a fake artist is a brilliant probe into the politics of authenticity and reputation in the modern art scene. It is a playful and intelligent insight into the fascinating, often cryptic world of modern art. ISBN: 9780241988879. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Ruhelos

Berlin-Verlag, 2007. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 367. Was geschieht, wenn alles, was man über seine Mutter zu wissen glaubte, sich plötzlich als Trugbild erweist? In dem langen heißen Sommer 1976 erfährt Ruth Gilmartin, dass ihre Mutter Sally in Wirklichkeit Eva Delektorskaja, eine russische Emigrantin und ehemalige Spionin, ist. Oxford, 1976. Ganz England stöhnt über die Hitze, doch Ruth Gilmartin ist vor allem um ihre Mutter besorgt: Ständig beobachtet Sally den Wald hinter ihrem Garten, das Telefon beantwortet sie nur nach vereinbartem Klingelsignal und das Haus verlässt sie - obwohl unversehrt - nur im Rollstuhl. Schließlich eröffnet sie ihrer Tochter, dass jemand sie töten wolle. Ihr wahrer Name sei Eva Delektorskaja und sie habe im Krieg als Spionin gearbeitet. Paris, 1939. Eva, eine schöne russische Emigrantin, wird von dem geheimnisvollen Lucas Romer für den britischen Geheimdienst angeworben. Sie soll die Arbeit ihres geliebten Bruders Kolja, der von den Nazis ermordet wurde, weiterführen. Unter Romers Anleitung wird sie zur perfekten Spionin ausgebildet, die schnell lernt, sich zuverstellen und - niemandem zu trauen. Ruhelos ist ein Spionageroman und literarisches Meisterwerk. Es vereint die emotionale Intensität eines Ian McEwan mit der Spannung eines John le Carré. William Boyd stellt die zutiefst beunruhigende Frage, wie gut wir einen Menschen jemals kennen können, und verwickelt den Leser in ein durchtrieben-doppelbödiges Spiel. ISBN: 9783827006929.
