The Escape

Adam Thirlwell

Haffner is charming, morally suspect, sexually omnivorous, vain.\nThere are so many stories of Haffner: but this, the most secret, is\nthe greatest of them all.

\n

In a forgotten spa town snug in the Alps, the 78-year-old\nHaffner is seeking a cure, redress, more women; and ignoring the\nwill of his late wife. He is there to reclaim her villa, lost\nduring the war, which Haffner will discover he would like very much\nto own.

\n

Harried by his family, pursued by his women, menaced by\nbureaucrats, negotiating with the mafia, riven by his memory of the\ndead and of the missing, Haffner tries to orchestrate his final\nescape.
