EBOOK DESCRIPTION: |
|
In 1929, at a youth summit in the Weimar Republic, a group of young Americans meet on a remote mountaintop. Their shifting alliances, rivalries and sexual intrigues foreshadow the turmoil and violence that will soon engulf Europe.
Fifteen years later, these men and women are suddenly reunited as one of them discovers an incendiary document from Heinrich Himmler, offering proof of Hitler’s Final Solution. A journey from the confusions of youth into the chaos of war, Another Green World reaches from the last shimmering summer before the Great Depression into the darkest precincts of the twentieth century.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Review quote
"[An] engaging and illuminating read . . . Mingling German myth and literature with its story line, Richard Grant's Another Green World at times makes you feel that its characters are operating in some menacing Grimm's fairyland."
--Roger K. Miller, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Eloquent and erudite . . . [Another Green World] is a challenging novel whose take on World War II is closer to the surreal dystopia of Thomas Pynchon than to the patriotic valor of Herman Wouk. Though there's action aplenty, Grant uses the disintegration of Europe to probe human relationships and the roots of collective delusions [and] the role played by mythmaking in politics and war."
--Ross King, Washington Post Book World
"[An] engaging and illuminating read."
--Roger K. Miller, Washington Times
"Partly a World War II thriller à la The Guns of Navarone, with the death camps of the Holocaust a railroad spur away; partly a gay coming-of-age story; partly a consideration of artistic or aesthetic longing played off the German Romantic poet Novalis' image of the blue flower; partly a greatest-hits list of the German literary canon from Goethe forward; and partly a sketch of the youth movements in the Weimar years, presaging the advent of Nazism . . . |
