His tale centers on a man whose maniacal devotion to the creation of a Museum of War involves both a horrible secret and the hope of redemption. Luisa Brooks, his museum's curator, a descendant of victims of Jewish exile and of black slavery, has a complex dilemma: will the collections she exhibits save humanity from repeating its tragic and violent past? Or might the display of articles of war actually valorize and memorialize evil atrocities? In Blameless Magris affirms his mastery of the novel form, interweaving multiple themes and traveling deftly through history. With a multitude of stories, the author investigates individual sorrow, the societal burden of justice aborted, and the ways in which memory and historical evidence are sabotaged or sometimes salvaged. 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book 606 $aMilitary paraphernalia$xCollectors and collecting 607 $aItaly$y20th century$vFiction 615 0$aMilitary paraphernalia$xCollectors and collecting. 676 $a853/.914 700 $aMagris$b Claudio, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$061238 701 $aAppel$b Anne Milano$01162212 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821469203321 996 $aBlameless$94083829 997 $aUNINA
