  • ""Das einfühlsame Psychogramm eines Menschen in der Krise Keith Gordons Leben ist eigentlich schon unerquicklich genug: Drei Jahre ist es her, dass der Mittvierziger von seiner Frau wegen eines unbedeutenden Seitensprungs nach zwei Jahrzehnten Ehe vor die Tür gesetzt wurde, und obwohl von vielen Frauen angezogen, konnte ihn bisher keine andere wirklich fesseln. Auch Yvette nicht, seine rund zwanzig Jahre jüngere Mitarbeiterin, mit der er seit einiger Zeit eine heimliche Affäre hat. Nonchalant macht er eines Abends mit ihr Schluss. Doch als er am nächsten Morgen ins Büro kommt, trifft ihn ihre Rache ..." "Jener Tag im Winter" " ist das mitreissende Psychogramm eines Mannes in der Krise, die nur oberflächlich eine Midlife-Crisis mit all ihren tragikomischen Auswüchsen ist. Caryl Phillips hat einen bezwingenden, weil psychologisch überaus glaubwürdigen Roman vorgelegt, verfasst in einer präzisen Sprache, die in ihrer Konsequenz staunen macht.""

Unmoored by a failing marriage, a distant son, and estrangement from his own father, Keith faces daunting change and must accept unsettling truths about himself and those around him."@en
  • "A searing story of breakdown and recovery in the life of one man and of a society moving from one idea of itself to another."@en
