The Death of the Adversary by Hans Keilson

3.0

Keilson's way of dealing with what everybody knows in a subtle manner is quite fascinating. There are no names, except some first names, and no places mentioned, and yet you know exactly what and who he is talking about.
I suppose it is a bit slow, and sometimes tedious to get through a page, but trust me, getting to the end it worth it.
The book, and writing, is shrouded by the dark looming presence of the adversary as one man tries to weave his way through life, while facing his fears and dealing with his hatred and others'.
This is definitely one of my favorite WWII era books.
