With Guarding Hanna, best-selling Slovenian novelist and
award-winning screenwriter Miha Mazzini has created a hilarious
and wrenching modern fable and thriller without peer—a book Publishers
Weekly calls “a thoroughly unique black comedy ... a delightfully
perverse and oddly touching story.”
Badly deformed, with the face "of a prize boar" and a fondness
for Bach, the unnamed narrator of this novel earns a living collecting
debts for Maestro, the patriarch of a Berlin gang. But when Maestro
asks him to protect the eccentric Hanna Woyczik, the sole witness
to a crime whose testimony can save Maestro, he is horrified to
learn that he must actually live with her for an entire week as
they await her trial.
Having never spent more than five minutes alone with any human
being—never mind a woman—he quickly finds the basic tasks of modern
life—such as conversing, eating, and shopping for toilet paper—insufferable,
and within hours of entering Hanna’s life, the question becomes,
“Who is protecting whom?”
MIHA MAZZINI is the author of 10 works of fiction, including
the runaway bestseller The Cartier Operation. He is
also an award-winning screenwriter. Mazzini lives and works in Ljubljana,
Slovenia.
