LONGLISTED: WOMENS PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022
A novel of devastating beauty set in Buchenwald during the Second World War, "Remote Sympathy" is a powerful and disturbing study of terrible lies and the human need to believe them. Written by Annie Proulx, the story follows Frau Greta Hahn and her husband, SS Sturmbannführer Dietrich Hahn, as they move away from their lovely apartment in Munich to live in Buchenwald. At first, life in Buchenwald appears idyllic, with the looming presence of a work camp just beyond the forest. However, Frau Hahn's poor health leads her into an unlikely and poignant friendship with one of Buchenwald's prisoners, Dr Lenard Weber. Dr Weber had invented a machine believed to have the potential to cure cancer, but its effectiveness is questionable. As Frau Hahn becomes more aware of the atrocities happening at the work camp, she is forced to confront her own naive ignorance about what is going on so nearby. "Remote Sympathy" is a tour de force about the evils of obliviousness, challenging us to question our continuing and wilful ability to look the other way in a world that is in thrall to the idea that everything, even facts and morals, is relative.
