Deep Vellum Publishing · 2026 · 675 pages

A history professor excavating the horrors of Nazi Germany finds himself unearthed by his own research, compelled to write a parallel, confessional history of his own life. As he nears the end of his monumental work, he begins digging a literal tunnel beneath his house, an attempt to escape the past he has so meticulously documented. This challenging, profound novel is for readers who relish dense prose and unflinching examinations of complicity and the human capacity for darkness.
