More About the Book..

It is about surfaces and characters that are the outlines of people racing to their own destruction in a society they know that would not last.

Their indulgence is a mask that hides the decay the know exists underneath everything they do.

They are constantly and desperately squeezing the last drops of it before the end which is inevitable.

The audience can see the hopelessness of this desperation reflected in the surface of the object they have created.

"Why can't the object be as beautiful as the contents"

Set in the 1930's, it evokes glamour as well as sleaze, excess and repression of the Berlin society. The city was aggressively modern and edgy, full of Avant-garde artists and writers, with a racy Cabaret nightlife.

The book portrays the different lives of people at threat from Nazis.
