"One of the most intelligent and attentive writers at work
in the US today."— David Foster Wallace
One of the most sensational incidents in the history of
France, the Dreyfus Affair was a landmark case involving
treason and anti-Semitism. Here is a novel about tangential
players far from the trial's main stage: petty forgers,
cross-dressers, actors in early silent films that document
the trial, and a film restorer who's trying to save those
crumbling movies nearly a hundred years later, all of them
caught in a web of intrigue, menace, and betrayal that
reaches through space and time.
