| Zusammenfassung: | "Told in three distinct and uniquely compelling sections, Asymmetry explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice. The first section, "Folly," tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War, "Folly" also suggests an aspiring novelist's coming-of-age. By contrast, "Madness" is narrated by Amar, an Iraqi-American man who, on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan, is detained by immigration officers and spends the last weekend of 2008 in a holding room in Heathrow. These two seemingly disparate stories gain resonance as their perspectives interact and overlap, with yet new implications for their relationship revealed in an unexpected coda. A stunning debut from a rising literary star, Asymmetry is an urgent, important, and truly original work that will captivate any reader while also posing arresting questions about the very nature of fiction itself. A debut novel about love, luck, and the inextricability of life and art, from 2017 Whiting Award winner Lisa Halliday" ... |

| adam_text | Alice, a young editor living in New York City
during the early days of the Iraq War, begins a
surprising and tender affair with the famous
older writer Ezra Blazer. Locked in a holding
room at Heathrow Airport in late 2008, the
practical economist Amar, raised in Brooklyn
%
but on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan,
is interrogated by immigration officials and
reflects on his past. Years later still, a BBC
journalist conducts an interview with Blazer
about life, love, and legacy. How do these
moments connect? How do these characters
* ,
impact one another s lives?
A stunning novel by Whiting Award winner
and rising literary star Lisa Halliday, Asymmetry
explores and challenges the imbalances that
strike and sustain us—from age and power to
geography and justice—and the ways in which
we try to find our place in the world. With
astounding prose and remarkable insight, Hal-
liday transforms three seemingly disparate
narratives into a rich and riveting story of love,
luck, and the inextricability of life and art. Funny
and compassionate, timely and alive, Asymmetry
is an experience readers won t soon forget. {
