New York: George Braziller, (1994). First edition - A satirical novel about an 80-year-old man whose entire career has been built on a lie. In 1942, as a graduate student at the Leipzig Ethnological Institute spent two years in the jungles of Brazil researching his thesis. But he merely went through the motions and in reality, all the notes and work were produced by the young German Jew named Leo Himmelfarb whom he hired as his guide. When he returned, thinking Himmelfarb was dead, he published the journal as his own - and now, 50 years later, he has received a letter from the man who's work he stole. Translated from the German by Leslie Wilson. 195 pp.
