Description

Emmanuel Carrère's non-fiction novel is a complex and deeply personal work that explores two central obsessions. The author's investigation into his grandfather's disappearance amid suspicions of Nazi collaboration serves as the backdrop for a violent and all-consuming affair with a woman, which ultimately ends in destruction. As Carrère navigates these dual narratives, he weaves a travelogue of self-discovery, moving between Paris and a post-Soviet town in Russia. This is a journey into the depths of his own psyche, one that requires courage and vulnerability. Through its intricate exploration of identity, trauma, and desire, this book offers a profound and unsettling portrayal of human experience.
