Reseña:  From the internationally bestselling author of Loves Executioner and When Nietzsche Wept comes a novel of group therapy with a cast of memorably wounded characters struggling to heal pain and change lives Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup eminent psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work -- and seeks out Philip Slate a sex addict whom he failed to help some twenty years earlier. Yet Philip claims to be cured -- miraculously transformed by the pessimistic teachings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer -- and is himself a philosophical counselor in training. Philips dour misanthropic stance compels Julius to invite Philip to join his intensive therapy group in exchange for tutoring on Schopenhauer. But with mere months left life may be far too short to help Philip or to compete with him for the hearts and minds of the group members. And then again it might be just long enough.
