Reinhard Jirgl's strikingly individual novel The Fire Above, the
Mountain Below demonstrates that he is not only unorthodox in his
approach to language, but also difficult to pin down in terms of
any genre. Weaving together elements of crime story, Cold War
espionage, family tragedy, and a dystopian future, he creates a
tapestry of fragile humanity and menacing inhumanity. The
investigation of a series of gruesome killings takes a detective
inspector into explorations of a secret intelligence programme in
former East Germany and the role of a family with a tragic history.
The more is uncovered, the more disorienting it becomes, and the
reader is drawn into a complex web of discovery and suppression.
