My Tango with Barbara Strozzi - Russell Hoban
KORTE INHOUD
Recently separated Phil Ockerman falls hard for Bertha Strunk at a tango lesson in Clerkenwell. Bertha also bears a strong resemblance to the seventeenth-century Venetian singer and composer Barbara Strozzi, to the point where Phil is no longer sure which is which... Russell Hoban's intriguing romance tangos its way through a world of infidelity, artificial eyeballs, baseball bats, several London Underground lines, considerable planetary activity and music - never missing a daring, seductive step.
