"Kitty and Joseph meet in a bookstore in New York. She is thirty-two, an aspiring writer. He is sixty, a Viennese Jew, a famous playwright who has survived the Holocaust. In a faded bohemian hotel (a place, he tells her, for madmen and artists), they begin an obsessive and all-consuming affair.".
"Night after night he spins stories for her, tales of prewar Vienna, his childhood in Amsterdam hiding from the Nazis, his literary triumphs, the endless wanderings from Vienna to Amsterdam, Palestine, Paris, New York. And he describes for her the countless women he has loved and left. One day, he tells her, he will leave her too." "Many years later, as Kitty journeys by train from Paris to attend Joseph's funeral in Amsterdam, she remembers."--BOOK JACKET.
