A rare delight: a smart, elegant, madly romantic comedy with characters who seem perfectly, charmingly real., Die verdienstvolle Studie demonstriert, dass die Rede vom George-Kreis nicht nur aufgrund der Zugehörigkeit zu einem sozialen Netzwerk, das bestimmte ethische, politische und ästhetische Überzeugungen teilt, gerechtfertigt ist, sondern ein philologisch überprüfbares Fundament besitzt.Alexander Nebrig in: www.iaslonline.de Der George-Kreis war ein hierarchisches Netzwerk: der Meister als Energiequelle, die Jünger als Verteilerstationen seines göttlichen Stroms. Eine Studie von Gunilla Eschenbach zeigt jetzt eindrucksvoll, dass es im Schrifttum des Kreises eine ausgefeilte Theorie dieses poetischen Leitungssystems gab."In: Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 28. Februar 2012 Die Untersuchung fußtauf zahlreichen unveröffentlichten, teils im Anhang faksimilierten und transkribierten Quellen; sie bereichert die zuletzt verstärkt biographisch und soziologisch orientierte Forschung zu Georges Umfeld um poetologische Aspekte."Philipp Redl in: Germanistik 1-2/2011

Synopsis
When Peter Russell finally meets the woman of his dreams he falls as madly in love as you can on a flight from New York to LA. Her name is Holly. She's achingly pretty with strawberry-blonde hair, and reads Thomas Mann for pleasure. She gives Peter her phone number on a page of The Magic Mountain , but in his room that night Peter finds the page is inexplicably, impossibly, enragingly...gone. So begins the immensely entertaining story of Peter and his unrequited love for his best friend's girl; of Charlotte and her less-than-perfect marriage to a man in love with someone else; of Jonathan and his wicked and fateful debauchery; and of Holly, the impetus for it all. Along the way, there's the evil boss, the desirable temptress, miscommunications, misrepresentations, fiendish behavior, letters gone astray, and ultimately, an ending in which every character gets his due. Both incisive and wonderfully funny, this is a brilliantly understated comedy of manners in which love lost is found again. "James Collins has written a romantic, funny and insightful page turner about love in modern times, missed opportunities and the wheel of fate (with a blow-out!) that is so engaging and real, you will find it impossible to put down. Peter Russell is an everyman filled with longing, lust and good sense. I promise you will root for him as fate throws him curves aplenty on his path to true love. Beginner's Greek and Peter Russell are keepers." -Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Lucia, Lucia and Big Stone Gap, Is love at first sight possible or just an old-fashioned romantic idea? And what if, to further complicate things, you meet the love of your life and then lose her phone number? Then what if, after the impossible happens and you find her again, she's now about to marry a roguish lothario who is also your best friend? The complications don't end there for Peter Russell, the winning hero of James Collins' charming, generous, and romantic first novel. Part modern-day Jane Austen, part Tom Wolfe, Beginner's Greek is a romantic comedy of the highest order, with characters who are perfectly, charmingly real as they swerve and stumble from fairy tale to social satire and back again.
