Plot
The novel's protagonist is known only as Gregor and shares other similarities to Rezzori, most notably being the son of an Austro-Hungarian aristocratic family in decline. The plot is arranged into five sections, and follows Gregor as he revisits his past from his childhood to middle-age. As Germany succumbs to Nazism, Gregor finds his complicated feelings for the Jewish friends and lovers in conflict with the hatred his country directs at them. His passive, apolitical nature ultimately is at tragic odds with the horrors happening around him.
