Group Portrait with Lady
Heinrich Boll
From Nobel Prize
winner Heinrich Boll, an inventive & sardonic portrayal of the
effects of the Nazi period on a group of ordinary people. Weaving
together the stories of a diverse array of characters, Boll explores the
often bizarre & always very human courses chosen by people
attempting to survive in a world marked by political madness, absurdity
& destruction. At the center of his tale is Leni Pfeiffer, a German
woman whose secret romance with a Soviet prisoner of war both sustains
& threatens her life. As the narrator interviews those who knew
Pfeiffer, their stories come together in a dazzling mosaic, rich in
satire, yet hinting at the promise of a saner world.
