Description
The Lake is an intricately plotted and fast-paced story of multiple crimes. Its central plot revolves around Paul Eck, a traveling representative for a pharmaceutical company. His precarious search for an unloved but locally prominent father and for his own better self leads this reluctant hero into dangerous misapprehensions and potentially fatal situations. In a series of snapshot portraits Roth ties the process of Eck's self-exploration to a confrontation with social attitudes.
