Memoirs of an anti- Samite: A Novel in Five Stories

Set in the darkest years of the twentieth century, this complex novel follows an apolitical Austro-Hungarian aristocrat through five episodes of his life.

​Driven by a lifelong, psychologically fraught fascination with Jewish friends and lovers, his self-absorbed "dance of attraction and repulsion" ultimately blinds him to—and makes him complicit in—the horrific historical realities unfolding around him.
