THE ASSIGNMENT; Or, On the Observing of the Observer of the Observers
Language: English
Published by Random House, New York, 1988
ISBN 10: 0394560108 ISBN 13: 9780394560106
1st Am edition. 129pp., translated from the German by Joel Agee. From the moment F., a female filmmaker, accepts "the assignment" to go to the Al-Hakim ruin to investigate the rape and murder of a psychiatrist's wife, she finds herself the central character in a deepening mystery. Even more unnerving, F. is trapped in an increasingly apocalyptic landscape riddled with political intrigue, crimes of mistaken identity, espionage and terrorism. Written in a blinding heat (each of the twenty-four chapters is one fluid, riveting sentence), Durrenmatt offers a fierce meditation on the ambiguities of the self, the vicissitudes of relations between men and women, and the complicity in corruption among world powers. Cloth spine and boards in dust jacket. Light shelfwear. Very good.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In Friedrich Durrenmatt's experimental thriller "The Assignment", the wife of a psychiatrist has been raped and killed near a desert ruin in North Africa. Her husband hires a woman named F. to reconstruct the unsolved crime in a documentary film. F. is soon thrust into a paranoid world of international espionage where everyone is watched - including the watchers. After discovering a recent photograph of the supposed murder victim happily reunited with her husband, F. becomes trapped in an apocalyptic landscape riddled with political intrigue, crimes of mistaken identity, and terrorism.F.'s labyrinthine quest for the truth is Durrenmatt's fictionalized warning against the dangers of a technologically advanced society that turns everyday life into one of constant scrutiny. Joel Agee's elegant translation will introduce a generation of English-speaking readers to a master of language, suspense, and dystopia. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
