'A work of rapture - jolting,hilarious and incredibly racy'Martin Amis,The TimesSelf-satisfied,delighting in the many fascinating quirks of his own personality,Hermann Hermann is perhaps not to be taken too seriously. But then a chance meeting with Felix,a man he believes to be his double,reveals a frightening'split'in Hermann's nature. Convinced that he has found his doppelgnger,Hermann uses this discovery to weave a money-making plan that leads to disguise,betrayal and eventually murder. Filled with impudent,startling humour,and dominated by the egotistical and scornful figure of a killer who thinks himself an artist,Despair takes us into a deranged world of doubles and illusions,where nothing is quite as it seems.
