Truth and Beauty

Axel Gold was jinxed. Germans bombed him the British starved him and his father abandoned him. As a man his true love cuckolds him and he seems doomed to spend his life seeking truth and beauty on a planet run by deceit and corruption. Only in midlife does a long-suppressed memory free him to take the world as he finds it and to profit by it. Axel and George were childhood buddies. One becomes a journalist the other survives Vietnam to become a filmmaker. It takes an Argentine beauty named Molly to set the friendship asunder.Lush lusty and politically incorrect-an irreverent rollicking tale of the resilience of the human spirit and triumph of the underdog.
