The Tunnel by William H. Gass
"The Tunnel" is a complex and challenging novel that explores the life and mind of a history professor who has spent his career studying Nazi Germany. As he writes his magnum opus, he also begins to dig a tunnel from his basement, a physical manifestation of his increasingly dark and claustrophobic worldview. The narrative delves into themes of history, memory, identity, and the nature of evil, presenting an unflinching examination of the human capacity for cruelty and self-deception.
