Vom Ende einer Geschichte

Awarded the Booker Prize. When Finn joins Tony Webster's class, the two boys quickly become friends. Sex and books are the main themes they engage with, and Tony feels that Adrian is a bit smarter than he is in everything. Even later, after school, they remain in contact. Until their friendship comes to an abrupt end. Forty years later, Tony, who has a marriage, an amicable separation, and a career behind him, is at peace with himself. However, a letter from a lawyer, linked to an inheritance, suddenly raises doubts about the seemingly secure facts of his own biography. The more Tony learns, the more uncertain the past seems, and the more unpredictable the consequences for his future become.
