‘A book so astonishing that I immediately reread it, fearful it might disappear’ Patti Smith The war is over but Alexander Jessiersky, a wealthy Austrian aristocrat and industrialist, is haunted by guilt over the neighbour he inadvertently sent to a concentration camp, Count Luna. What’s more, he is convinced that Luna survived – and is out to get his revenge. So begins a wild, weird cat-and-mouse chase that takes him and his shadowy nemesis through windswept valleys, eerie houses and, eventually, Rome’s catacombs, as an increasingly paranoid Jessiersky asks himself: will Luna stop at nothing to exact his bloody vengeance? Crazed, raging and darkly comic, Count Luna is a reckoning with postwar guilt, and an irresistible tale of the uncanny.’Like Kafka … Lernet-Holenia weaves his most intimate hopes and dreams … with exquisitely imagined detail’ Chicago Tribune
