Littell is the favorite for the Goncourt (French 'equivalent' of the British Booker Prize). It's a massive book which tells the story of a German. The main character is a Schutzstaffel (S.S), cold-hearted, mathematician in search of the most efficient way of killing masses, evil spirit, you name it. You may be disturbed by this impossibly calm accumulation of horrors. But it is the other reality of what Hitler called the Final Solution and one should be able to face it.
