Close to death, an old man collapses and struggles to his bed. The sounds of the endless night unsettle him, triggering images, questions, and memories. In What Darkness Was, Inka Parei, author of The Shadow-Boxing Woman, allows the reader to inhabit a singular German mind. Precise and observant--but uncomprehending and on the brink of hysteria--the old man wracks his brain as the questions flow like water: why did he inherit the building he now lives in?
