Heidegger's Glasses: A Novel

by Thaisa Frank

*** [3/5]

This book tells the story of a group of linguists who survived WWII writing letters for the Nazis. The story weaves around several of the occupants of a mine shaft where the letter writers live and spins each individual story through a few weeks of crisis tied to the philosopher Heidegger. The book narrative is well crafted but I found the end unsatisfying.
