The report that Brodeck is writing into the lynching of an artist,
an outsider, a flamboyant Other figure who has deeply disturbed the
fragile equilibrium of the town he briefly settled in, becomes a
report into the catastrophe of his own life. Brodeck, it seems,
himself also an outsider, has lately returned from a concentration
camp. In the course of his investigation into the death of the
artist, he uncovers the truth about his distant origins, about his
having been rounded up when the Germans came to the town, and all
that happened to his family when he was gone. This immensely
powerful chronicle of a community's fear and loathing of what is
strange, what is from the outside, has been hailed as one of the
outstanding European novels of the last decade.
