ACHTERNBUSCH, Herbert. Das Letzte Loch.

(Frankfurt am Main, Germany): Suhrkamp Taschenbuch, 1982.  First edition.  Paperback original.  18cm by 11cm. 117 pages. As a professional ‘flycatcher, beer drinker and private detective’ named ‘The Nile’, Germany’s most idiosyncratic filmmaker Herbert Achternbusch investigates a mass murder. Poetic and stubborn, absurd and critical, the thoughts of ‘The Nile’ repeatedly revolve around the question of how he should forget six million dead Jews. Illustrated with stills from the film.  A very good copy.
