N1  - Anna is an American Jewish psychotherapist who lives in Vienna. Nearly twenty-five years after her father s untimely death, she is plagued by nightmares and feels compelled to solve the enigma of his unpublished, autobiographical novella, Tell Marvin. Dan Rosenberg, a New York attorney, is approached by a widowed Holocaust survivor who begs him to represent her son, Marvin. After returning safely from the war in Vietnam, he had been arrested on drug charges and imprisoned in Franco s Spain. Although Marvin faces a harsh sentence, he is headstrong and reluctant to accept the clever escape plan that Rosenberg devises for him with the support of the US consul. Interweaving Tell Marvin with Anna s own narrative, Case Unclosable presents the perspective of a bilingual American who has resided in Austria for forty years. As a psychotherapist with Austrian clientele, she is able to deliver insights that exceed those found in novels written by the European-born children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. Case Unclosable lifts Austria s blanket of denial and affords unique awareness about one of modern history s unclosable chapters. Anna sets out to draw parallels between Marvin s self-endangering episode in fascist Spain and her own venturesome decision to settle in Austria, a self-proclaimed  island of bliss
