Kellerman, Jesse. The Executor.
Librarian, Bob, has reviewed this article.
You have been thrown out of Harvard’s doctorate program in philosophy for not doing work in eight years. Your girlfriend has evicted you from the apartment you’ve shared with nothing but a duffel bag of clothes and a half-bust of Nietzsche. You answer an ad for a “Conversationalist” to a Viennese woman named Alma living in nearby Cambridge. Several hours a day talking about free will and a room in the house make it idyllic even though Alma’s drug-addicted nephew sponges off her. Then Alma is murdered, and both you and the police wonder who is guilty. That is the situation for Joseph Geist in Kellerman’s part satiric, thoroughly absorbing tale of those who perhaps think too much.
