Beschreibung

Chris Kraus' <i>The Bastard Factory</i> tells the story of an entire epoch: a drama of betrayal and self-delusion spanning the years 1905 to 1975, taking us from Riga to Moscow, Berlin and Munich all the way to Tel Aviv.<br><br>Hubert and Konstantin Solm are brothers, born in Riga at the beginning of the twentieth century, they will find themselves - along with their Jewish adopted sister, Ev Solm - caught up in in the maelstrom of their changing times.<br><br>As the two brothers climb the rungs of society - working first for the government in Nazi Germany, then as agents for the Allied Forces, and eventually becoming spies for the young West Germany - Ev will be their constant companion, and eventually a lover to them both. The passionate love triangle that emerges will propel the characters to terrifying moral and political depths.<br><br>The story of the Solms is also the story of twentieth-century Germany: the decline of an old world and the rise of a new one - under new auspices but with the same familiar protagonists.
