Lässliche Todsünden

From the author of the bestseller "Vienna". A family man is too lazy to assert his own small happiness against his daughters and ex-wife. A young couple avoids the complications of sexuality by one becoming a caregiver and the other a patient. A man misses out on his entire life because he cannot afford to show any weakness. And a divorced couple fights each other until the grave of their shared child. In a postmodern society, Eva Menasse explores archaic patterns. With her own successful blend of poetry and comedy, she traces the seven deadly sins and finds sloth and gluttony, lust and pride, wrath, envy, and greed in the actions of her entirely worldly protagonists.
