The Story of My Baldness by Marek van der Jagt (Paperback, 2006)

The ingenious comic vel named one of the best books of 2004 by The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Baltimore Sun. IN THE STORY OF MY BALDNESS, VIENNESE PHILOSOPHY student Marek van der Jagt tells the story of his quest for l'amour fou. Van der Jagt introduces a host of unforgettable characters and weaves a web of shameful secrets in this vel that uses Vienna the way Kafka used Prague - as the (strangely familiar) landscape where the narrator's obsessions are given free rein.
