The Story of My Baldness
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.
