Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. If I want to explain who I am, and why I was in that diner, and how I got into the mess I'm in, I guess I've got to go back a few years. Maybe not all the way back, although I don't think that anything is ever totally irrelevant. But for now I'm going to stick to the main points, like how I got to Los Angeles, and why I didn't really know anyone there, and why I liked that Charlie Conti has just come into his inheritance. Young, rich and alone in the world, he decides to leave the echoing luxury of his Manhattan home and head for Los Angeles. He throws wild parties and everyone comes, but he remains on the outside, an isolated figure. Then he meets Ray Celador. Ray has the eyes of a visionary and the rough, gnarled hands of a lumberjack. He deals in drugs, women and philosophy, and before long he's indispensable to Charlie: father-figure, teacher, friend. But who, in the end, is Ray Celador? And who when he finds himself stripped of his home, his money and his identity is Charlie Conti? A thriller with a literary twist, this is the story of Charlie's betrayal, of the theft of his identity and of his attempt to recover what is his.

Paperback. Claus von Bohlen, Old Street Publishing. Otto Eisinger, an elderly German emigre living alone in Brazil, attempts to thwart a pair of armed robbers and is brutally beaten. When the Brazilian media get hold of the CCTV footage, the old man instantly becomes a national hero. As he recuperates in hospital, Otto is visited by his housekeeper's grandson, Pietro, an idealistic young journalist eager to understand the motives for his heroic act of defiance. Heavily dosed with morphine and prompted by the uncanny resemblance between Pietro and Siggi, the closest friend of his adolescence in 1940s Germany, Otto begins to access memories that he has spent a lifetime suppressing and whose meaning he has still not fully understood. To Greet the Sun is a serious and richly imaginative attempt to understand what it was like to grow up under the Nazi regime. It is at once a totally convincing coming-of-age story, a psychological study of repressed trauma, and not least a moving and frequently comic account of an unlikely friendship that bridges continents and generations. AUTHOR: Claus von Bohlen is the author of Who is Charlie Conti? He is currently studying psychology in Los Angeles. SELLING POINTS: . Original and engaging literary fiction with a strong 'hook' . The novel is based on extensive research into the experience of children and adolescents in Hitler's Germany. Paperback.…
