Famous Last Words
Famous Last Words | Timothy Findley
5 posts | 6 read | 1 reading
In the final days of the Second World War, Hugh Selwyn Mauberley scrawls his desperate account on the walls and ceilings of his ice-cold prison high in the Austrian Alps. Officers of the liberating army discover his frozen, disfigured corpse and his astonishing testament -- the sordid truth that he alone possessed. Fascinated but horrified, they learn of a dazzling array of characters caught up in scandal and political corruption. The exiled Duke and Duchess of Windsor, von Ribbentrop, Hitler, Charles Lindbergh, Sir Harry Oakes -- all play sinister parts in an elaborate scheme to secure world domination.

A low pick. Works well paired with Murdered Midas, by Charlotte Gray, which is all about Sir Harry Oakes. Oakes appears in the last third of Famous Last Words, and knowing his story beforehand made this really pick up for me.

So in love with the new local cocktail bar, Famous Last Words. All the drinks are named after books, and the menu has chapters and a table of contents!
