There are many stories of Haffner. Haffner is charming, morally suspect, vain, obsessed by the libertine emperors. He is British and Jewish and a widower. But this, the most secret story, is the greatest of them all. In a forgotten spa town snug in the eastern Alps, at the end of the twentieth century, Haffner is seeking a cure, more women, and a villa that once belonged to his late wife. But really he is trying to escape: from his family, his lovers, his history, his entire Haffnerian condition. For Haffner is seventy-eight. In other words, Haffner is too old to be a grown-up. So unravels the plot of The Escape—a swift, sad farce of sexual mayhem by a novelist The New York Times has called “a prodigy.”
Adam Thirlwell was born in London in 1978. He is the author of two novels, Politics, and The Escape. In 2003, Granta listed him among its 20 best young British novelists. His much-praised book on the international art of the novel, The Delighted States, won the Somerset Maugham Award in 2008. His work has been translated into 30 languages.
