Klappentext
"Stunning...Alonge's style is as cinematic as the finest classic thrillers...In its scope and beauty, The Feeling of Iron also recalls great 19th-century novels like Tolstoy's War and Peace, while its lyric, spare examination of a covert life is reminiscent of Joan Didion's Democracy . Clarissa Botsford's translation is precise and eloquent, never splashy. Every line is a jewel." Lea Carpenter, The New York Times
In 1941, SS Major Hans Lichtblau is put in charge of a re-search program that is part of the infamous "final solution." Two men survive the experiments to become inconvenient witnesses of a world that has ended and yet weighs heavily on the present.
Four decades later, on behalf of different and apparently irreconcilable clients, the two veterans set out on the trail of Lichtblau, who is fighting the Sandinistas on behalf of the CIA, raiding villages, and trafficking in drugs. The manhunt is a race against time, because one life may be too short to settle all accounts.
"A powerful holocaust novel that goes to unexpected places." Kirkus Reviews (starred)
