About Götz And Meyer

Review "At once a novel, fictional biography, history and meta-fictional commentary, Götz and Meyer, composed in a single hallucinatory paragraph without space breaks (stylistically redolent of W. G. Sebald), is simultaneously a masterful addition to the literature of the Holocaust and a fascinating philosophical meditation on that enormity." --San Francisco ChronicleA remarkable, unforgettable novel. (Laura Farmer The Gazette) Product Description A Jewish schoolteacher tells the story of Wilhelm G?tz and Erwin Meyer in the process of researching the deaths of his relatives during World War II. These two SS officers were assigned to drive a hermetically sealed truck in which concentration-camp prisoners were slowly asphyxiated. Soon this knowledge overwhelms day-to-day life, and the teacher comes to see past and present merge in a heartbreaking moment of remembrance. Among the best and most haunting novels about the Holocaust to emerge in the final years of the twentieth century, G?tz and Meyer is David Albahari's masterpiece.
