From the award-winning author of Art and Desolation comes this bitingly funny new novel that follows the absurd adventures of a man struggling with a midlife crisis.

Adam Haberberg is losing his sight in his left eye. His new book is a flop. And his marriage isn’t doing too well. But while sitting one day on a park bench, he sees an old friend from high school, Marie Thérèse, and suddenly his whole life seems to change. Adam soon finds that his own life has somehow become intertwined with Marie Thérèse’s, throwing everything into question. A wry tragicomedy and a nuanced study of a man in the throes of an existential crisis, Adam Haberberg has the same wit and panache that have marked all of Yasmina Reza’s work to date.

Yasmina Reza began work as an actress, appearing in several new plays as well as in plays by Molière and Marivaux. In 1987 she wroteConversations after a Burial, which won the Molière Award for Best Author. Following this, she translated Kafka'sMetamorphosisfor Roman Polanski and was nominated for a Molière Award for Best Translation. Her second play,Winter Crossing, won the 1990 Molière for Best Fringe Production, and her next playThe Unexpected Man, enjoyed successful productions in England, France, Scandinavia, Germany and New York. In 1995,Artpremiered in Paris and went on to win the Molière Award for Best Author. Since then it has been produced world-wide and translated into 20 languages. The London production received the 1996-97 Olivier Award and Evening Standard Award. Screenwriting credits includeSee You Tomorrow, starring Jeanne Moreau and directed by Didier Martiny. In September 1997, her first novel,Hammerklavier, was published.
