Believing they were being taken to a better camp, Belgrade's Jews
would climb into the truck with a sense of relief. Mainly women,
children and the elderly, they expected a long and uncomfortable
trip but, after crossing the border, their journey would come to an
abrupt end. Here the drivers would get out and attach a hose from
the exhaust to the back of the truck-Over the course of a few
months in 1942 the Nazis systematically exterminated the majority
of Serbia's Jews using carbon monoxide and specially designed
trucks. The only information the narrator of this bleakly comic
novel can find about the summer when his relatives disappeared is
the names of the truck drivers: G-tz and Meyer. During his research
he becomes fascinated by the unknowable characters and daily lives
of these men. But his imagination proves a dangerous force, and his
obsession with the past threatens to overwhelm him.
