Description

Deborah Levy presents an attention gripping novel about beauty, envy and carelessness. Chosen as the Booker Prize finalist of 2019, this book presents the story of Saul Adler, a narcissistic young historian in 1988. He is intended to publish a favorable essay about the German Democratic Republic in return for an invitation to Communist East Berlin to do research. A fateful incident occurs as he waits for his girlfriend to arrive and he is grazed by an oncoming car, which changes the direction of his life. The Man Who Saw Everything greets the readers with old and new love, previous and current incarnations of Europe, real and imagined betrayals, and conscious and unconscious transgressions. It is about the difficulty of seeing ourselves and others clearly while investigating the repetitive nature of history.
