Group Portrait with Lady (The Essential Heinrich Boll)

Group Portrait with Lady (The Essential Heinrich Boll)

Cited by the Nobel Prize committee as the â€œcrownâ€ of Heinrich BÃ¶llâ€™s work, the gripping story of Group Portrait With Lady unspools like a suspenseful documentary. Via a series of tense interviews, an unnamed narrator uncovers the storyâ€”past and presentâ€”of one of BÃ¶llâ€™s most intriguing characters, the enigmatic Leni Pfeiffer, a struggling war widow.
Â
At the center of her struggle is her effort to prevent the demolition of her Cologne apartment building, a fight in which she is joined by a motley group of neighbors. Along with her illegitimate son, Lev, she becomes the nexus of a countercultural group rebelling against Germanyâ€™s dehumanizing past under the Nazis ... and what looks to be an equally dehumanizing future under capitalism.
