Notes From Your Bookseller
Awarded the Prix Goncourt in 2017, this stunningly exquisite, unconventional history explores several pivotal moments in the rise of Nazi Germany. The perspective is intimate; focused on conversations in closed rooms exposing the obfuscations, the bargains, the bluster, cowardice and acquiescence of historical actors. The question Vuillard poses is whether significant events follow from momentous action or if they are more likely the fumblings of the mediocre. This is a book with as much to say about the course of history past as of history unfolding. An alarm.
Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Boston Globe, and Literary Hub
