Loosely based on the true story of Binjamin Wilkomirski, whose fabricated 1995 Holocaust memoir transfixed the reading public, The Canvas has a singular construction, its two inter-related narratives begin at either end and meet in the middle. Amnon Zichroni, a psychoanalyst in Zurich, encourages Minsky to write a book about his traumatic childhood experience in a Nazi death camp, a memoir which the journalist Jan Wechsler claims is a fiction. Years later, a suitcase arrives on Wechsler's doorstep, allegedly lost in Israel, a trip he has no memory of.

Als Ed Rosen in der Morgendämmerung erwacht und mit den Zehen wackelt, steht eines fest: Der Huf, der am Fußende aus seinem Bett ragt, ist auf keinen Fall seiner. Aber da. Wie soll er sich das erklären? Rosen, ein Software-Experte, war Mitentwickler und erster Träger des UniCom, eines Kommunikationsmittels, das als Implantat weit mehr kann als ein Smartphone – es protokolliert die Sinneswahrnehmungen seines Besitzers und macht das, was wir Realität nennen, in «Replays» unendlich wiederhol- und veränderbar: vor allem eine erotische Verlockung. Und es macht den Träger total kontrollierbar. Rosens Chef Matana und seine Firma treten einen weltweiten Siegeszug mit diesem Gerät an und nur ein paar ewiggestrige Störenfriede mahnen. Bis sich unerwartet Widerstand gegen das digitale Arkadien regt, der vielleicht auch den Huf erklärt? In Benjamin Steins neuem, glänzend geschriebenen und spannenden Roman geht es um Körper und Kontrolle, Erotik, Macht und Geheimnis und die Tyrannei totaler Transparenz.

Anyone can write a book about how to get rich. The bookstores are full of them. They rarely work, though, which isn't suprising since the people who write them rarely know much about money. But it takes Ben Stein, economist, finance expert for Barron's, commentator on finance for Fox News, and (fairly) successful iinvestor to write a book called How to Ruin Your Fiancial Life. This book is a humorous road map showing you how to make something useful of the money that comes in and out of your life. Follow the rules-in reverse gear-and you're bound to be a lot beter off than you are now. Follow the rules as they're written-and you're highly likely to wind up in bankruptcy court-as million do every decade.
