But during the preparations for Tirza's graduation party, we come to know what he has lost. His wife has left him; Ibi is starting a bed and breakfast in France, an idea which he opposed; the director of the publishing house has fired him; and his savings have vanished in the wake of 9\/11.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Hofmeester still has Tirza, until she introduces him to her new boyfriend, Choukri--who bears a disturbing resemblance to Mohammed Atta--and they announce their plan to spend several months in Africa. A heartrending and masterful story of a man seeking redemption, Tirza marks a high point in Grunberg's still-developing oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArnon Grunberg\u003c\/b\u003e started his own publishing company at the age of 19 and wrote his first, of many, best-seller at 23.
