From Publishers Weekly In an unnamed European state in the indefinite but not distant future, a talented CIB'' agent (Central Institute for Biographics'') turns renegade and commits serious violations of protocol. One view of the evidence presents Felix Seyner at the point of resigning, transmitting a lengthy letter that attempts by flattery, cajolery and blackmail to resume an amour with a girlfriend from his leftist student daysand her unfavorable reply. The official investigation has it otherwise; the girlfriend'' is Felix's alter ego, Felix may be a murderer, and his record of false trails and ingenious hacking'' into CIB's archives may have compromised the institute's integrity. Within this deft Orwellian improvisation on a theme, little can be stated with absolute confidence. What is this CIB: an innocent purveyor of entertainment and social research, oras is darkly hintedan organization dedicated to preempting the arts and letters and whatever else is left of open society? This fine modernist (and mischievous) novel probes potential directions for state social control as well as the nature and moral position of fiction. Grzimek also is the author of Heartstop.

Product Description Set in a futuristic society, this story relates the horror of living in a world where individuality, true feelings, and authentic experiences do not exist
