Time's Arrow, Or, The Nature Of The Offense - Thryft
Time's Arrow, Or, The Nature Of The Offense - Thryft

Life rewound through a Nazi doctor's eyes.

Imagine experiencing life in reverse—this is the unique structure of "Time's Arrow." It's a fascinating, unsettling exploration of morality and history that could resonate with readers who are looking for a novel way to approach heavy, complex subjects. The backward life of a Nazi doctor challenges perceptions and provokes deep thought about guilt and atonement.

Description

In Time's Arrow the doctor Tod T. Friendly dies and then feels markedly better, breaks up with his lovers as a prelude to seducing them, and mangles his patients before he sends them home. And all the while Tod's life races backward in time toward the one appalling moment in modern history when such reversals make sense.
