'My name is Knisch, Sascha Knisch, and six days ago my life was in perfect order.' So begins Aris Fioretos's elegant, hilarious novel, set in Berlin in the sweltering summer of 1928. Knisch, who works as a projectionist at the Apollo movie theatre, is a person with special sexual habits. One night, he sees the enigmatic Dora Wilms again. A week later, she is dead and Knisch is charged with murder. As he tries to clear his name, he discovers a scientific conspiracy and is drawn into the rich tangle of a story, in which nothing is as it seems. How can he prove what didn't happen? What goes on at the Foundation for Sexual Research? And why is it important to have testicles? A biological thriller set in the steamy underworlds of Weimar Berlin, The Truth about Sascha Knisch deals with the so-called 'sexual question', its lures and seductiveness, dangers and temptations, but also with the shrewd passion between two young people in a Germany at the brink of disaster. Above all, the novel is a declaration of love to imagination - clever, droll and stylish, couched in the form of a riddle and written with effortless élan by one of Europe's most exciting and entertaining new writers. (20050324) Aris Fioretos was born in 1960 in Gothenberg, Sweden, to Greek and Austrian parents. After taking degrees in Stockholm, Paris and Yale, he taught at Columbia and Rutgers University, writing a number of scholarly works before turning to fiction. He has received many awards for his work, including fellowships from the Getty Center, the American Academy in Berlin and All Souls College, Oxford. He currently lives in Berlin.
