Alexander Kluge's work has long grappled with the Third Reich and
its aftermath, and the extermination of the Jews forms its
gravitational center. Kluge is forever reminding us to keep our
present catastrophes in perspective-"calibrated"-against this
historical monstrosity. Kluge's newest work is a book about bitter
fates, both already known and yet to unfold. Above all, it is about
the many kinds of organized machinery built to destroy people.
These forty-eight stories of justice and injustice are dedicated to
the memory of Fritz Bauer, determined fighter for justice and
district attorney of Hesse during the Auschwitz Trials. "The moment
they come into existence, monstrous crimes have a unique ability,"
Bauer once said, "to ensure their own repetition." Kluge takes
heed, and in these pages reminds us of the importance of keeping
our powers of observation and memory razor sharp.
