A taxi-driver in 1930s Vienna impersonates a murder victim-with unsettling consequences"One doesn't step into anyone's life, not even a dead man's, without having to live it to the end."A man climbs into Ferdinand Sponer's cab, gives the name of a hotel, and before he reaches it has been murdered: shot through the throat. And though Sponer has so far committed no crime, he is drawn into the late Jack Mortimer's life, and might not be able to escape its tangles and intrigues before it is too late...Twice filmed, I Was Jack Mortimer is a tale of misappropriated identity as darkly captivating and twisting as the books of Patricia Highsmith. Alexander Lernet-Holenia was born in Vienna in 1897. He served in the Austro-Hungarian army in the First World War and became a protégé of Rainer Maria Rilke. During his life he wrote poetry, novels, plays and was a successful screenwriter. His uneasy relationship with the National Socialist Party resulted in his removal from prominence in 1944, but after the end of the Second World War, he again became a vital figure in Austrian cultural life. He died in 1976.

Chi è Jack Mortimer e perché, appena è salito su un taxi al Westbahnhof di Vienna, qualcuno gli ha sparato uccidendolo sul colpo? E perché mai doveva salire proprio sul taxi del giovane Ferdinand Sponer, che ha già parecchi problemi – soprattutto quello di essersi perdutamente innamorato di una fanciulla troppo bella, troppo ricca e troppo aristocratica per lui? Anche lei, il giorno prima, era salita sul suo taxi, ed era stata come un’apparizione: «grandi occhi grigi, sotto l’orlo di una veletta», «le spalle cinte da una stola di volpe» – e per di più, come aveva facilmente scoperto l’abbagliato tassista dopo averla accompagnata a casa, contessa. Nel corso di una sola notte, l’ignaro Ferdinand Sponer si trova preso in una girandola di peripezie iperbolicamente tragicomiche, nel corso delle quali, per liberarsi dell’ingombrante cadavere, sarà costretto ad assumere lui stesso l’identità del morto e ad affrontare, nella suite di un albergo di lusso, la donna che è stata la sua amante e il di lei furibondo marito. Ma questo è solo un minuscolo segmento della incontenibile trama. Rare volte il romanzo novecentesco è stato animato da un tale strepitoso ritmo, che obbliga il lettore a seguire passo per passo – e quasi attimo per attimo – una vicenda tanto più ossessiva in quanto imprevedibile.

Novelist, playwright and barrister John Mortimer has led an extraordinarily rich life, privately and professionally, much of it in the public eye. His own writings, from the play A Voyage Round My Father to the memoirs Clinging to the Wreckage and Murderers and Other Friends, have given his many fans plenty of insights. But now for the first time a biographer has had full access to Mortimer, his circle of friends and colleagues, and their diaries and letters. The result is a riveting account of the life of one of the great figures of our time. A Voyage Round John Mortimer is revealing of many aspects of Mortimer's legal and literary career, from his first attempts at writing novels and the early help he offered his barrister father through to the great triumphs of Rumpole and the Oztrial.

'A book so astonishing that I immediately reread it, fearful it might disappear' Patti Smith The war is over but Alexander Jessiersky, a wealthy Austrian aristocrat and industrialist, is haunted by guilt over the neighbour he inadvertently sent to a concentration camp, Count Luna. What's more, he is convinced that Luna survived - and is out to get his revenge. So begins a wild, weird cat-and-mouse chase that takes him and his shadowy nemesis through windswept valleys, eerie houses and, eventually, Rome's catacombs, as an increasingly paranoid Jessiersky asks himself: will Luna stop at nothing to exact his bloody vengeance? Crazed, raging and darkly comic, Count Luna is a reckoning with postwar guilt, and an irresistible tale of the uncanny. 'Like Kafka ... Lernet-Holenia weaves his most intimate hopes and dreams ... with exquisitely imagined detail' Chicago Tribune
