`A masterpiece... I challenge any author to top it!` Sigridur Alberstsdottir, Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. Josef Loewe enters the world as a lump of clay
- carried in a hatbox by his Jewish father Leo, a fugitive in WWII Germany. Taking refuge in a small-town guesthouse, Leo discovers a kindred spirit in the young woman who nurses him back to health & together they shape the clay into a baby. But en route to safety in Icel&, he is robbed of the ring needed to bring the child to life. It is not until 1962 that Josef can be `born`, only to grow up with a rare disease. Fifty-three years on, it leads him into the hands of a power-hungry Icelandic geneticist, just when science & politics are threatening to lead us all down a dark, dangerous road. At once playful & profoundly serious, this remarkable novel melds multiple genres into a unique whole: a mind-bending read & a biting, timely attack on nationalism.
