The Tenant and The Motive, Paperback / softback Book

The Tenant and The Motive Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

"The Tenant" and "The Motive" are two darkly humorous novels from the award-winning author of "Soldiers of Salamis". "The Tenant" is the mischievous story of Mario Rota, a linguistics professor whose life starts to unravel after he twists his ankle while out jogging one day.

A rival professor appears, takes over his classes and bewitches his girlfriend.

Where will Rota's nightmare end - and where did it begin? "The Motive" is a satire about a writer, Alvaro, who becomes obsessed with finding the ideal inspiration for his novel.

First he begins spying on his neighbours, then he starts leading them on, creating a reversal of the maxim that art follows life, with some dire consequences.

Written with a supremely light touch, these witty novels are enjoyable masterpieces that linger long in the memory.
