内容简介
Albinus, a respectable, middle-aged man and aspiring
filmmaker, abandons his wife for a lover half his age: Margot, who
wants to become a movie star herself. When Albinus introduces her
to Rex, an American movie producer, disaster ensues. What emerges
is an elegantly sardonic and irresistibly ironic novel of desire,
deceit, and deception, a curious romance set in the film world of
Berlin in the 1930s.
