Starlite Terrace
''Starlite Terrace'' is a contemporary novel in four stories about the American film milieu written by Patrick Roth, published by Seagull Books in 2012. Setting and structure “Starlite Terrace” is the name of the Los Angeles apartment complex arranged around a swimming pool, where the plot unfolds in 2002 and 2003. Four tenants tell their Hollywood-tinged life stories to a fifth, who is also the main narrator (who remains nameless). Attracted by the glamour of show business, Rex, Moss, Gary and June had moved to the movie capital at a young age. In conversations with the narrator, they recount key events and turning points in their lives, great expectations and bitter disappointments. Their stories, mostly rendered as dialogues, revolve around love and guilt, death and redemption, existential themes, which find expression in archetypal images. Each narrative is based on biographical-historical facts embedded in a mythical-supra-temporal context. The author himself descri ...

Suhrkamp
Suhrkamp Verlag is a German publishing house, established in 1950 and generally acknowledged as one of the leading European publishers of fine literature. Its roots go back to the "arianized" part of the S. Fischer Verlag. In January 2010 the headquarters of the company moved from Frankfurt to Berlin. Suhrkamp declared bankruptcy in 2013, following a longstanding legal conflict between its owners. In 2015, economist Jonathan Landgrebe was announced as director. Early history The firm was established by Peter Suhrkamp, who had led the equally renowned S. Fischer Verlag since 1936. As the censorship of the Nazi Regime endangered the existence of the S. Fischer Verlag with its many dissident authors, Gottfried Bermann Fischer in 1935 reached an agreement with the Propaganda Ministry under which the publication of the not accepted authors would leave Germany while others, the "aryanized" part, would be published under Peter Suhrkamp as managing director and, inter alia, the name ...
