The Zone of Interest: A novel | Martin Amis

2 posts | 11 read | 1 reading | 5 to read

Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favorite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn’t show you your reflection. It showed you your soul—it showed you who you really were. The wizard couldn’t look at it without turning away. The king couldn’t look at it. The courtiers couldn’t look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for sixty seconds without turning away. And no one could. The Zone of Interest is a love story with a violently unromantic setting. Can love survive the mirror? Can we even meet each other’s eye, after we have seen who we really are? Powered by both wit and compassion, and in characteristically vivid prose, Martin Amis’s unforgettable new novel excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul.From the Hardcover edition.

I always begin my writing morning by thumbing through this dictionary in my library. I try to discover a word I haven't thought about in years or a word that is completely new to me.

so-so

I struggled with this latest book by my favorite author. The subject matter is Auchwitz, and the constant horror of the setting, the banal brutality, weighed the story down for me.
