So , here it's a big success , I would be so happy if Littell wins the Goncourt Prize or the Médicis one . Truly , this book is GREAT , Littell writes/speak very well french . Okay it's a big book (900 pages) it's written small , not a lot of chapters , it's really compact . It's hard to read when Maximilien explains how they slaughtered the Jews , the amateur ways of the SS in the beginning the effects that it was a ****ing mess : bloody , full of pieces of brain , cries and screams .
Maximilien is clever and for help him to do what he must do , he remembers his reading : Sophocle , Schopenhauer , Stendhal , Platon etc . Maximilien told when he started to tell his life that in the end he went totally crazy , I'm impatient to know what he did , and how him and his mates reacted when the nazism fell apart , when Hitler killed himself
Well , a great book by a great author (who loves Sade eh eh eh) Littell is stranlating his novel into english , there an interview of him (but in french)

Littell writes so well , it's like you are here when they shoot the Jews , when some SS take pictures , when Maximilien (who's gay but he hides it , of course) explains how he decided to enter in the Sicherheitsdeinst 'et c'est ainsi , le cul encore plein de sperme , que je me résolus à entrer au Sicherheitsdeinst'
Right now Brondel tell them they must shoot women & kids , that they must take it like an act of humanity , by killing their husbands and sons , they are left alone into the world . By taking Poland , Germany 'received' three millions of Jews , they can't feed them , they can't keep an eye on them so they must kill them and because 'les enfants juifs d'aujourd'hui , sont les saboteurs , les partisans , les terroristes de demain'
This book freezes me ...
