Fat Skeletons

Ursule Molinaro

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Mara is a translator. In her Greenwich Village apartment she successfully renders her native Czech into best-selling English, until one fine night she notices alarming similarities between her own Prague childhood and a "brilliant novel" by a rising young star of Czech literature. Making contact with the author, Mara realizes that he had been the protege -- perhaps the lover -- of her now dead novelist mother. She threatens to reveal his plagiarism of her past and her mother's papers and is soon caught up in a cycle of threats and counter-threats.
