    In this narrative about narrative, the pithy film summaries placed in the mouth of the eponymous cinema explainer (courtesy of "Reclams Filmführer") expose underlying narrative models: the barer the plot the more visible its skeleton. When the novel as a whole is stripped to its bare bones, one finds a classic "Third Reich" narrative, of a kind that may soon be extinct. Indeed, the novel attests to the fading of memory in its stylization of the "Nazi" era. In place of authentic detail it offers ("pace" the author) a moral stance on the Third Reich and a refusal of the myth of the 'good German'.
