A brilliant novel about a play shrouded in mystery and a study of evil
At the beginning was Death. Somebody drowns trapped in the ice on the Wannsee in Berlin, a corpse is dangling from the ceiling of a theatre. The two deaths are decades apart, but the day of death is the same: January 16.
In 1912, poet Georg Heym drowned while skating, and in the mid-1990s undergraduate students at an elitist East Berlin school of acting were set the task of examining Heym's enigmatic Faust fragment. Then a body is found on the school's rehearsal stage. Was it murder, suicide or a pact with the devil?
For readers of Donna Tartt's The Secret History.
"The God of the City is a tightly plotted and highly literary novel rooted in one of modern Germany's most fascinating times and places."
