Written while Hans Keilson was in hiding during World War II and first published in 1959,The Death of the Adversaryis the self-portrait of a young man helplessly fascinatedobsessed by an unnamed 'adversary,' whom he watches rise to power in 1930s Germany. It is a tale of horror, not only in its evocation of Hitler's gathering menace but in its hero's desperate attempt to discover logic where none exists. A psychological fable as haunting asBadenheim 1939,The Death of the Adversaryis a lost classic of modern fiction.
