Screwing Upward

Is Klaus Hübel a true seeker after enlightenment or is he merely using his spiritual aspirations to provide an excuse for a succession of love affairs with teenage girls? Klaus himself is not sure of the answer until a succession of terrible events forces the truth upon him as his young wife displaced by an even younger woman sets out on a course that will change the lives of many people and lead to assault rape incest and death.There are elements of redemption: for Klaus the beginning of self-knowledge and the wish to atone; and for those around him the mending of broken lives the transformation of evil into good and the willingness to crack a joke whenever the opportunity arises.
