A review by cielllo
The Investigation by Peter Weiss
managed to avoid reading this for 13 years because the reviews terrified me (reading this was still a horror trip after 'practicing' learning about Nazi Germany for 13 years- spoiler, this can't actually be practiced), can recommend to read on a busy train if you know you can't really want to completely get swallowed by this.
it's not merely horrifying by content; the detailed descriptions of the concentration camp and closeness to historical trial evidence are amplified by the lack of punctuation and widening the cantos range/ claim by stripping the roles of particular names, alluding to the millions who died under/ were active in the Nazi regime instead of limiting the play/ the nightmare scenes described to specific characters.
Most hated stage instruction ever seen is the defence laughing; might be smart to read this in German as a German but we'll see.
