‘Black satire of the highest polish’ Guardian Whilst awaiting trial for war crimes in an Israeli prison, Howard W. Campbell Jr sets down his memoirs on an old German typewriter. He has used such a typewriter before, when he worked as a Nazi propagandist under Goebbels. Though that was before he agreed to become a spy for US military. Is Howard guilty? Can a black or white verdict ever be reached in a world that’s a gazillion shades of grey? ‘After Vonnegut, everything else seems a bit tame’ Spectator

nhặt cuốn này lên vì tình cờ đọc được một quote rất là lay động tâm can aka sên sến
và y như rằng đó là cái đoạn sến và cẩu huyết nhất truyện khiến tui ná thở chỉ muốn cho 3 sao cái sự rate mà tui ghét nhất
còn lại thì xuất sắc =))
