1991 harper paperbacks New York USA 418 strane blaga iskrivljenost rikne očuvana knjiga je na emgleskom jeziku Kate Odinokov, an attractive 33-year-old advertising executive, contemplates suicide in this readable, if unremarkable, first novel, but admits, `I could never kill myself: I love clothes too much. ` Already infatuated with her handsome Italian therapist Frank Manne (or is it merely transference? ), Kate meets Boris Zimoy, a Russian emigre poet visiting the city from Paris, falls in love with him, and changes her name to Katia. Kate/Katia makes two trips to Paris and, after some emotional battering, comes to see that Boris is a shallow, narcissistic womanizer. `Every woman loves a man once in her life who is totally wrong for her, ` she observes, but it is only through this painful process that Katia comes to know and accept herself. Dunkel`s clear prose moves along at a nice clip, but it`s riddled with banalities and cliched descriptions of Manhattan and Paris in the mid-`80s. The treatment of psychotherapy is superficial, but Dr. Manne and his neurotic therapist girlfriend Jo Anne are sensitively drawn; Kate/Katia herself is funny and vivacious enough to keep the reader turning pages despite the precious descriptions of her fabulous apartment, chic wardrobe and adorable cat.

This is an amusing, entertaining first novel of a modern single woman searching for Mr. Right, meeting Mr. Wrong, and ending up with Mr. Why Not. Kate Odinokov is depressed because she doesn`t have a man. She falls in love with her psychoanalyst, but that`s considered patient transference. So she tries her luck with an emigre Russian poet, but his melancholy Russian soul doesn`t allow him to love her. She decides to explore her Russian heritage and becomes Katia with a Russian soul of her own. Along the way, she learns to love herself and in so doing discovers happiness. The settings in Manhattan and Paris add color and depth and make this perfect for popular fiction collections.
