Descubre las diversas facetas de Viena, una ciudad que brilla como un epicentro cultural, pero que también tiene una oscura historia de antisemitismo. Como el autor Angus Roberson demuestra de manera vívida en esta historia de la ciudad de Viena y su estado, Austria, Viena ha superado con creces al dios romano Jano, quien solo tenía dos caras. Está la hermosa fachada de la ciudad.

Rosa Lowinger, author of Dwell Time, grew up in a family that provides added meaning to the term “dysfunctional.” She is an art conservator, who looks at her family through the prism of her profession. Concrete is one example of the interplay between the two. “Reinforced concrete is a perfect metaphor for marriage,” Lowinger writes. Like a couple providing mutual support, the steel strengthens the concrete; the cement’s alkaline nature keeps the steel from corroding.

Albert Camus was a French author and “absurdist” philosopher who fought in the French Resistance and died in 1960 in an automobile accident at age 46. He has been an influence in the life and work of author Jay Neugeboren since he first read Camus’s novel The Stranger at 17. Finally, after writing 21 books, 11 of them prize-winners, Neugeboren has given birth to After Camus: A Novel, a strange, well-written novel with complex, odd characters who pop off the pages into the reader’s imagination.
