Here's what I wrote in 2008 about this read: "Heavy, intense reading with a rich reward. The Soviets and the Nazi's battle it out in central europe during WWII (Operation Barbarossa), and artists such as Soviet composer Dmitri Shastokovich continue to be inspired and produce. Include profiles of several real persons, in addition to Shastokovich: Kathe Kollwitz, Kurt Gerstein, General Paulus and General Vlasov."

Vollmann traduce il disgusto per il disgusto di Lautreamont: occhi in fondo all'oceano: cosa osservano? Osservano il male dell'aurora.

Ti prego, Agitatori di Volantini Fred, dove sono i ventitré guerrieri giapponesi che cavalcheranno silenziosamente sulla neve alla luce della luna per vendicarmi?
(pagina 38)

Non vi è che un centro da cui emergono tutte le
specie, come raggi da un sole, e verso cui tutte le
specie fanno ritorno.

Giordano Bruno, lettera all'Inquisizione (1600)
(pagina 115)

Tutto continuava a succedermi attorno, proprio come avrebbe continuato a succedere attorno alla mia tomba dopo che sarei morto.
(192)

...dal momento che tutti i pianeti non erano altro che condensazioni globulari di quei vapori anelliformi, la conclusione era inevitabile … ovvero che l'universo non era composto da altro che dai propri miasmi.
(pagina 299)

I thought the section about Gerstein, the conflicted supplier of gas to death camps was the best part. After were the tales of Paulus and Vlasov, the generals who were captured and switched allegiences. Unfortunately, Vollman spends more time on Shostakovich, the composer involved in a love triangle.
