Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Starkly and beautifully written . . . a simple, lyrically conceived, and ultimately devastating portrait of our most basic weaknesses and evils, as they came together at one particularly tragic and momentous instant in world history."
--Susanna Moore, author of My Old Sweetheart

"It's remarkable enough that an American writer born in the 1970s has managed to depict life in inter-war Germany and Austria with such quiet confidence and precision. That he has also created out of that history a fine old-fashioned novel of unsentimental moral seriousness with no a trace of postmodern preening is astonishing."
--Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the Century

L'autore:
