Eva Menasse on the trail of deadly sins in everyday life (Austria)

Sloth, greed, gluttony, pride, wrath, envy and lust – fast-paced, precisely observed, and wittily narrated, Eva Menasse's stories in »Lässliche Todsünden« (tr: Venial Deadly Sins) trace the lapses of human existence and tell of tragic relationships, abortive escape attempts and the hubris of self-deception.
