Welcome to the Wellis Corporation. Twenty-three storeys of shimmering glass cubicles, rattling typewriters, spiraling corridors: a corporate kingdom with its own neon light. Across the glittering panes, the acrobatic window cleaner swoops and dives, or pauses, still as a gargoyle, seeing things that nobody else sees. Over one weekend, we follow four employees into their private worlds. An ageing secretary; a translator in a mid-life-crisis; a once-glamorous typist; and a lovelorn trainee. Together, they reveal the illusions we live by - in the workplace, in the home and in our own mind's eye. Lost for decades since it was first published in Germany in 1959, introduced by Megan Nolan and in a hypnotic new translation by Rob Madole, this crystalline debut novel by a pioneering female writer rewrites German literary history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Paperback Book","offer_id":51331730080022,"sku":"RMX-68307","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/9780571396580.jpg?v=1779380846","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/rehmann-ruth-illusions-faber-editions","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
