Rapids (Liechtensteinian Literature Series)

A sideways view of "coming of age," Rapids is the story of a young man who moves to a strange city and finds himself lost in its warren of streets and squares. He is looking for his own identity--personal, political, sexual. A series of encounters culminates with his meeting Anja: a strong, older woman, stuck in a relationship with another man she cannot bring herself to leave. Anja proves to be an anchor for the young man, but their relationship must remain a secret--and when that secret finally comes to light, their troubles are just beginning.
