About the Book

"Paradise Lust" is an autobiographical cautionary tale about the seductive perils of our time. The action revolves around Albrecht, a tradition-bound Austrian nobleman, and those who cause him woe: his mother Istenne, whose idealistic union with a famous American black scandalized Europe decades ago; his daughter, Princess Stephanie, whose worldly mischief is creating no less of a contemporary stir; and his cousin, the narrator, whose Americanized ways offend every tenet of Albrecht's existence. Underlying the action is Albrecht's conviction that humanity's unbridled ways can still have the same incalculable consequences in our day as the loss of Paradise by Adam and Eve. There is also God -- astounding in the guise of both the stern but just Yahweh of Abraham and the ever-forgiving Jesus Christ. Whether set in a dilapidated chateau at the foot of the Pyrenees, in a burgundy-red studio apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side, or at an ocean-side cottage in Laguna Beach, "Paradise Lust" carries an inconvenient message for those striving to maximize their pleasures in life. The book's epilogue, however, offers a provocative alternative. "Tender, funny, touching and true -- a unique page-turner." --Stephen Birmingham, Author "Our Crowd" "Kolowrat's combination of American and European sensibilities speaks in a frank voice to audiences on both sides of the Atllantic." --Alice Pistkova, Prague Post An identical version of "Paradise Lust" is also available under the title "The Reckoning: An Inconvenient Discovery about Pleasure." This version, however, has a dramatically different cover which may produce a different read.
