- Compass / by Énard, Mathias,1972-author.(CARDINAL)689455; Mandell, Charlotte,translator.(CARDINAL)643816;
"As night falls over Vienna, Franz Ritter, an insomniac musicologist, takes to his bed with an unspecified illness and spends a restless night drifting between dreams and memories, revisting an ongoing fascination with the Middle East and his numerous travels to Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, and Tehran, as well as the various writers, artists, musicians, academics, translators, orientalists, and explorers who populate this vast dreamscape. At the center of these memories is Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East. With exhilarating prose and sweeping erudition, Mathias Enard pulls astonishing elements from disparate sources - nineteenth-century composers and esoteric orientalists, Balzac and Proust, Thomas Mann and Sadegh Hedayat - and binds them together in a hypnotic, magical way, as a powerful ode to Otherness"--Amazon.com.- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Philosophical fiction.; Thrillers (Fiction); Dreams; Insomniacs; Memory;
