In Id�e Vixe, an American officer named Karl finds himself behind German front lines during WWII. In the vicinity of Freiburg he happens to meet Vixey, a German brunette legitimately vexed by enemy soldiers in her country. A girl of refinement and sensibility, she is a disciple of Chanel with a lot of fashion ideas and is connected to the highest levels of the German Reich. The situation is further complicated by a hazardous encounter with members of the powerful and enigmatic Russian Liberation Movement, who show Karl that the political situation in Europe in 1944 is much more complex and uncertain than he thinks.

The activities of this movement, as well as the extent of the Soviet role in the war's origins, have never entered the mainstream perception of the history of the war, nor have they been discussed in the context of a novel. Some of the information comes from declassified archives, and thus has been entirely absent from history for decades.

The historical theme is mirrored by an abstract, metaphysical plot-theme that leads to conflicts and emotional entanglements. The style in Id�e Vixe is reminiscent of many classical precedents, ranging from the wild psychology of Gogol to the eccentric metafiction of Nabokov. The attention to aesthetic detail resembles that of Flaubert and the work abounds in direct philosophic and literary references.

Ron Cogan is a New Yorker who has at times lived in Germany, Italy, Florida, and the Catskills and has origins in Riga. He works in banking and capital markets in New York, after previously working in bond insurance. Idée Vixe was finished in October 2014.
