«Der Gott der Alpträume» is the novel by Paula Fox, published by C.H.Beck in hardcover (287 pages, in German).
In 1941, Helen Bynum leaves her small town in New York State to travel to New Orleans, where she finds her aunt Lulu, an alcoholic actress. At twenty-three, she discovers the city's bohemian life amid wonder, fear, and love; in 1967, now married, she reconsiders those experiences in a new light.
The novel, originally published in 1990 as «The God of Nightmares», appears in this German edition translated by Susanne Röckel.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in the American bohemia of the 1940s and in female characters.
Paula Fox was an American author of novels for adults and children and of two memoirs. Fox won the Newbery Medal in 1974 for her novel The Slave Dancer. She also won the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1978 and won a 1983 National Book Award in category Children's Fiction (paperback) for A Place Apart. In the mid-1990s, she enjoyed a revival as her adult fiction was championed by a new generation of American writers. In 2011, she was inducted into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame.
