From "one of the most rigorous and serious--and anachronistic--novelists working today" (The Washington Post) comes a raucous new tale plumbing the depths of ego and ardor. In a remote country in Europe, Gerard Desacroux IV, petty tyrant and French nationalist, wants nothing more than to be reunited with Ada, the object of his desire ever since their brief fling in Paris years before. Though Ada is on her way to visit, there are the unfortunate matters of civil unrest, assassination attempts, and Ada's affluent (and highly inconvenient) husband to contend with before bliss is attained. Despite it all, Desacroux IV is determined that nothing--neither war, nor ominous weather, nor the rising swell of indignant peasants--shall stand between him and Ada. Told with Mark Haber's trademark exuberant absurdity, Ada is a comedy about the mania of power, unrequited love, and the solitude of authority.
