This novel by the classic of English literature, Martin Amis, is a profoundly original, partly provocative statement that focuses attention on the Holocaust and World War II in a new way. Amis brings to the conversation about the horrors of the past intonations and nuances never before heard in such a context. "Zone of Interest" - it is both a love story (two of the three characters - the commandant of the concentration camp and an officer serving in it - love one woman, and the third - a Jewish prisoner - is ready to kill or commit suicide to save his wife, caught in the clutches of the Nazis), and anti-war satire in the best traditions of "Brave Soldier Schweik" (the commandant of the camp is shown in frankly comic and grotesque tones), and a classic example of literary polyphony. However, the key idea of the novel goes far beyond the predictable "life everywhere" and "banality of evil": melodramatism and deceptive lightness of the plot serve Emis only as a means to highlight the absurdity and tragedy of the situation.
