Martin Amis: “The area of interest”
The “area of interest” refers to the outer perimeter of the Auschwitz concentration camp. But in the hands of Martin Amis, one of the greatest authors in the English language, it becomes the site of a love story, even if its setting is violently unromantic. In a novel full of both wit and pathos, Amis delves into the depths and contradictions of the human soul. He is joined in the conversation by Donna Seaman, editor-in-chief of Booklist.
