The Man Who Was Late Paperback - 1994
by Louis Begley
An acclaimed new novel by the award-winning author of Wartime Lies. A Holocaust survivor leaves the wreckage of Europe and recreates himself as a brilliant financier. Connected to the world by globe-trotting deals and impeccable charm, he rejects the comforts of love . . . until he meets Veronique.
From the jacket flap
"Begley writes with a contemplative wisdom that permeates his work....[He] has captured some of the wispy melancholy of midcentury fiction, and this feat in itself is mellifluous to both ear and spirit."
THE BOSTON GLOBEA man without a country or family, a Holocaust survivor, Ben long ago left the wreckage of Europe and recreated himself as a brilliant financier. He rejects the comforts of love and is shocked to discover Veronique--beautiful, unwisely married, and all that Ben suddenly knows he has always needed. In their stolen hours and weekends, their deep commitment to one another fills their lives as nothing ever has. But the question remains: Can Ben finally take what he has always denied himself...?
From the author of WARTIME LIES.
