Description
The setting for Tsipi Keller's new novel, Nadja on Nadja, is New York City-its neighborhoods, its streets, its people-where "humanity, as if spellbound, is approaching the end of the millennium." Working for a living, Nadja, a girl-woman in her thirties, doesn't delude herself. Corporations, she knows, are dictatorships comprised of many low-level tyrants; she must either subjugate herself, or suffer the consequences.
In the words of author Bruce Benderson: "Yet another novelistic feat by Tsipi Keller who tackles the enigmatic social transactions that make us part of the human collective without our ever being able to breach the isolation of the self. Working for a man she detests, Nadja, like a thief, writes a novel on the sly, while contending with other deceptions in her life. Like the rest of us, she is two people: that recognizable and functional social being we show to everyone; and a second self, the intuitive, discerning side of Nadja, delving into a secluded world of true vision."
