«Gleissendes Glück» is the novel by A.L. Kennedy, published by Wagenbach Klaus GmbH in paperback (192 pages, in German).
Helen Brindle believes she has lost God, but what she really lacks is love. She does not find it at home, with her violent husband; perhaps she will find it in Stuttgart upon meeting the enigmatic Edward E. Gluck. The encounter gives rise to a look at desire, pornography, and the longing for wholeness and healing.
The work was originally published in English in 1997 under the title Original Bliss; this German edition, translated by Ingo Herzke, appeared in 2008.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction who want to approach the narrative of A.L. Kennedy, a Scottish author, in German.
Alison Louise Kennedy is a Scottish writer, academic and stand-up comedian. She writes novels, short stories and non-fiction, and is known for her dark tone and her blending of realism and fantasy. She contributes columns and reviews to European newspapers.
