***Longlisted for the CWA Crime in Translation Dagger 2023*** "If
there's an entry point into the work of the enduring, award-winning
Italian writer Erri De Luca, then N.S. Thompson's excellent
translation is surely it ... Thoughtful and wise about life and
landscape, it's the most cerebral of whodunnits" Ben East, Observer
Two men go walking in the Dolomites, but not together; one falls to
his death, the other reports the body. Is it coincidence that they
knew each other in earlier years, and that one had betrayed the
other? Impossible is at once a game of cat-and-mouse in which the
prisoner, a survivor of a left-wing cadre now long dispersed, holds
his own. Nor is he crushed by his solitary confinement from which
he communicates with his distant beloved. This novel is a brilliant
hymn to the lure of the mountains, an engrossing illumination of
political brotherhood, and also the subtlest of detective stories.
