The Adelaides is the long-awaited new novel by Anna Felder. At its center is a couple, Ottone and Adelaide. They have left life behind. He, Ottone, is searching for the Absolute, for the true Adelaide, the ideal one who continually eludes him. He searches in memory, which is deceptive. He searches among all the other Adelaides who entangle him in love stories, and whom he incorporates into his singular Adelaide with paradoxical fidelity. The Adelaides is a novel about introspection, the deceptive dimension of memory, and the tension between life and death. Once again, Anna Felder is in pursuit of a perfect balance between form and meaning. Like in music, sounds and phrases follow a precise rhythmic structure. Sense and sound, rhythm and meaning merge into an inseparable unity.
