Ein perfekter Freund
This is without a doubt one of the best books I've read in 2007. Suter's fantastic, crisp yet emotive German prose is an absolute treat for any lover of the language.
Fabio Rossi is a thirty-something journalist who, on the verge of discovering the astounding truth behind a story, receives a head injury and upon regaining consciousness discovers he has absolutely no recollection of the last fifty days of his life. Fifty days in which he apparently underwent a complete transformation of personality. Now he's back to being the old Fabio -- but the world around him has moved on and only remembers the new avatar.
Ein perfekter Freund details Fabio's efforts at rediscovering himself, amid his desperation to remember that story he was following up on, and his confusion at his suddenly complicated relationship with a man who was once his best friend.
This was one of those suspense-filled, exciting books that I couldn't wait to get to the end of, but at the same time I had so much fun reading it that I didn't want it to get over. I hope there's a good English translation out there that makes Suter's engaging story accessible to many more readers.
