Europe Central

"Seven hundred fifty pages long, with an additional fifty pages of notes, William T. Vollman's Europe Central is dense with allusions to art, to music, to literature, and to history. Its characters include Kurt Gerstein, Käthe Kollwitz, and generals on both sides of the Eastern front in the Second World War; Vollmann's psychological portrayals of these individuals are both plausible and intense."
