HHhH

Harvill Secker London, 2012 AN OUTSTANDING WORK OF THE IMAGINATION. All the characters in HHhH are real. All the events depicted are true. But alongside the nerve-shredding preparations for the attack runs another story: when you are a novelist writing about real people, how do you resist the temptation to make things up? HHhH is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism and loyalty, revenge and betrayal. It is improbably entertaining and electrifyingly modern, a moving and shattering work of fiction. 'HHhH is a highly original piece of work, at once charming, moving, and gripping.' Martin Amis. 'HHhH blew me away. Binet's style fuses it all together: a neutral, journalistic honesty sustained with a fiction writer's zeal and story-telling instincts. It's one of the best historical novels I've ever come across.' Brett Easton Ellis. 'By the time I got to the last page of Binet's masterpiece, I had to close my eyes and rethink history. I'm rethinking it still.' Gary Shteyngart. Nobel Laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa, hailed the book as magnificent. unsurpassable. Something of a Greek tragedy and of the splendid thriller.
