520    Hailed as a remarkable literary discovery, a lost novel of
       heart-stopping intensity and harrowing absurdity about 
       flight and persecution in 1930s Germany  Berlin, November 
       1938. Jewish shops have been ransacked and looted, 
       synagogues destroyed. As storm troopers pound on his door,
       Otto Silbermann, a respected businessman who fought for 
       Germany in the Great War, is forced to sneak out the back 
       of his own home. Turned away from establishments he had 
       long patronized, and fearful of being exposed as a Jew 
       despite his Aryan looks, he boards a train. And then 
       another. And another . . . until his flight becomes a 
       frantic odyssey across Germany, as he searches first for 
       information, then for help, and finally for escape. His 
       travels bring him face-to-face with waiters and conductors,
       officials and fellow outcasts, seductive women and vicious
       thieves, a few of whom disapprove of the regime while the 
       rest embrace it wholeheartedly. Clinging to his existence 
       as it was just days before, Silbermann refuses to believe 
       what is happening even as he is beset by opportunists, 
       betrayed by associates, and bereft of family, friends, and
       fortune. As his world collapses around him, he is forced 
       to concede that his nightmare is all too real. Twenty-
       three-year-old Ulrich Boschwitz wrote  The Passenger  at 
       breakneck speed in 1938, fresh in the wake of the 
       Kristallnacht pogroms, and his prose flies at the same 
       pace. Taut, immediate, infused with acerbic Kafkaesque 
       humor,  The Passenger  is an indelible portrait of a man 
       and a society careening out of control.
