As a young man in Germany, AW’s grandfather published Kafka and several other depraved authors whose work the Nazis were keen to burn. He fled in 1933, eventually settling in New York where he published Pasternak and Lampedusa, but his son’s wartime experiences were very different. A compelling excavation of a family’s history and its secrets.
