<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A recovered masterpiece....Remarkable as a sidelong, searing appraisal of the legacy of the Nazi years.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A masterpiece by a writer long neglected in America, <em>The Hothouse</em> created a literary stir when it appeared in hardcover. Evoking comparisons to works by James Joyce and Malcolm Lowry, it traces the final two days in the life of a minor German politician, Keetenheuve, a man disillusioned by the corruption of post-World War II German politics and grieving after the sudden death of his wife. With a passionate, despairing voice, Wolfgang Koeppen (1906-1996), whom Gunter Grass once called the greatest living German writer, creates a portrait of idealism crushed by political and personal compromise.
