Produktbeschreibung
Edan Benn Epstein's fourth novel, The Anteater, follows the hopes, fears, and secrets of seven men working for a third rate messenger service in 1985. Over the course of three days in November, the perfect storm - both literal and emotional - threatens to change each of their lives forever. Magic intertwines soulfully with grim reality in a tale of deep inner longing forever just one step ahead of existential checkmate. The Anteater integrates seven life stories together, all of which are set against the vital backdrop of Los Angeles itself. "This is not a novel about the big and glamorous Los Angeles, the dramatic Los Angeles, or the evil and violent Los Angeles. It is about something much harder to portray: the Caulfields and Willy Lomans of L.A..... offering a tantalizing cross-section of L.A.'s variegated human as well as physical landscape....The Anteater delves deeply into areas of the human psyche that fiction rarely explores
