Kay est entrée dans mon restaurant. Elle a posé une grosse liasse de lettres sur la table. Elle m'a dit : tu en fais ce que tu veux... L'histoire d'un amour haut comme une cathédrale, violent comme une bordée de pirates, avec des chants, des confessions, de l'encens, des abordages, des orages, des prises d'otages.

Hicks McTaggart, Privatdetektiv, nimmt einen Routinejob an: Er soll die ausgebüxte Erbin eines Käse-Fabrikanten ausfindig machen und nach Hause bringen. Doch unversehens findet er sich auf einem Ozeandampfer wieder und landet schließlich fern jedem Seehafen in Ungarn, wo eine Sprache wie von einem anderen Stern gesprochen wird und es genug Backwaren gibt, um einen Detektiv bis ans Lebensende zu versorgen, aber jede Spur von der flüchtigen Erbin fehlt.

Whether they are Americans, Brits, or a stubborn and suicidally moral Dutchman, Norman Rush’s whites are not sure why they are in Botswana. Their uncertainty makes them do odd things. Driven half-mad by the barking of his neighbor’s dogs, Carl dips timidly into native witchcraft—only to jump back out at the worst possible moment. Ione briskly pursues a career as a “seducer” (“A seductress was merely someone who was seductive and who might or might not be awarded a victory. But a seducer was a professional”), while her dentist husband fends off the generous advances of an African cook.

When Douglas, the ringleader of a clique of self-styled wits of “superior sensibility” dies suddenly, his four remaining friends are summoned to his luxe estate high in the Catskills to memorialize his life and mourn his passing. Responding to an obscure sense of emergency in the call, Ned, our hero, flies in from San Francisco (where he is the main organizer of a march against the impending Iraq war), pursued instantly by his furious wife, Nina: they’re at a critical point in their attempt to get Nina pregnant, and she’s ovulating!

The greatly anticipated new novel by Norman Rush—whose first novel, Mating, won the National Book Award and was everywhere acclaimed—is his richest work yet. It is at once a political adventure, a social comedy, and a passionate triangle. It is set in the 1990s in Botswana—the African country Rush has indelibly made his own fictional territory.

The narrator of this splendidly expansive novel of high intellect and grand passion is an American anthropologist at loose ends in the South African republic of Botswana. She has a noble and exacting mind, a compelling waist, and a busted thesis project. She also has a yen for Nelson Denoon, a charismatic intellectual who is rumored to have founded a secretive and unorthodox utopian society in a remote corner of the Kalahari—one in which he is virtually the only man.

In the spring of 1898, A. E. (Alexandria) Bartram—a spirited young woman with a love for botany—is invited to join a field study in Yellowstone National Park. The study’s leader, a mild-mannered professor from Montana, assumes she is a man, and is less than pleased to discover the truth. Once the scientists overcome the shock of having a woman on their team, they forge ahead on a summer of adventure, forming an enlightening web of relationships as they move from Mammoth Hot Springs to a camp high in the backcountry.

Enter The Four Queens: Irene and three other firebrand women ready to take on the museum's bottomless budget issues.

A Hollywood millionaire with a terror of death, whose personal physician happens to be working on a theory of longevity—these are the elements of Huxley's caustic and entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely.
