Otto, the Boy at the Window
註釋In this meditation on identity and selfhood, loss and change, the real and the counterfeit, George Dzul tells the very real but often unbelievable story of a man's life, a life that begins in 1939 and is still very much in process in 1999. An infant boy in war-torn Eastern Europe loses his mother, his past, and his heritage. Seemingly without direction, he drifts from rescue to adoption agency to a wealthy family in Michigan -- and from there to life as a playboy, a forger, a wanderer, and an owner of a company that cleanses what has been made unclean. His adventures, which are both sexual and personal, investigate the nature of family and the mystery of appearances. The picaresque and the profane are equally likely and equally phantasmagoric as narrated by George Dzul, a gifted new author.
