The Zone of Interest is a 2014 novel by Martin Amis. It is his 14th published novel.The novel is set in the Auschwitz concentration camp in the years 1942-43, with an epilogue in 1948. It is told through three rotating POVs: Angelus "Golo" Thomsen, an outwardly easygoing womanizer, who slowly begins to grapple with his role as a "Schreibtischtäter"; Paul Doll, the camp commandant, who spirals ever deeper into delusions to justify his actions and to uphold his manhood; and Szmul, a Jewish inmate who prolongs his life by working as the head of the Sonderkommando.The novel was loosely adapted into a film of the same name written and directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Under the Skin). It premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in May of that year, and will be distributed in the US by A24 in December. | |
