ABOUT
THE BOOK

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 novel that uses Vienna the way Kafka used Prague – as the (strangely familiar) landscape where the narrator’s obsessions are given free rein.
