perceptive, disturbing, funny
this book describes the struggle between Lucifer and God as dictated by the devil himself, who has come down on his luck, to a psychiatrist who gradually falls in love with him. that sounds serious, but consider this: the battle between the father and the angle of light takes place at the feet of maria callas, with God and the devil as white and black poodles,...

`There's a picture of Maria, God and me. There. The black poodle, that's me!',
By J. Cameron-Smith "Expect the Unexpected" (ACT, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Great Bagarozy (Dedalus Europe 1998) (Paperback)
Meet Cora Dulz, psychiatrist, and Stanislaus Nagy, her patient. Are either of them - or both of them - deluded? Is Nagy the Devil? Can Dulz cure him? And who will cure Dulz?
This slender novel invites the reader to share the delusions of Nagy and Dulz, to explore alternate interpretations and possibilities. It also invites, or perhaps requires, readers to feel extremely sorry for the late Maria Callas, with whom Nagy has an obsession. Stanislaus Nagy seeks treatment from Dr Cora Dulz. Nagy explains to Dr Dulz firstly his visions of Mara Callas and then how he has been at her side throughout her career. Dr Dulz wonders how this could have been possible. Thus commences a journey through memory and the two different but increasingly convergent worlds of Dr Dulz and Mr Nagy. This is a cleverly written novel that contains much witty dialogue and observation within the confines of its 153 pages. `The Great Bagarozy' is translated from the German by Mike Mitchell. Mr Krausser has written a number of other novels: I hope that they are also translated into English. Jennifer Cameron-Smith

in many ways reminiscent of dr. kassler (Jeremy Leven), but more condensed. a groovy read that will not leave you flacid. |
