Synopsis
After a senseless and unexplained war that threatens the inhabitants of a small town with annihilation, the reclusive local baker begins digging a hole and exchanges his views of the situation with a schoolteacher friend. But has the baker collaborated with the invaders? A Schopenhauerian conceit runs through the whole novel, which is a fable-like critique of many of the evils of modern civilization.

Publisher's Note
Part love story, part moral treatise, part theatre of the absurd, this brilliant first novel is an examination of the complexity of the human spirit, for readers of Knut Hamsun, Bernhard Schlink, and Paul Auster.

In an unnamed European village, in the middle of a civil war, one man digs while another watches over him. Slowly, they begin to talk. Over the course of the afternoon, as snow falls and truckloads of villagers are corralled in the next field, we discover why they are there--not just who they are but also how sinister events in the country have led them to be separated by a deepening grave, and why the history of civilization is inseparable from the history of mass violence. Beautifully written, with a poet's eye for detail coupled with a chilling and compelling narrative drive, Schopenhauer's Telescope is current in the best sense--no thin allegory of Bosnia or Kosovo but a remarkable attempt to make art out of the brutality of life.

Industry reviews
"Donovan has many interesting ideas about the permanent bloody stains on Europe's conscience and the evils that men do....Overconstructed by intermittently superb: an ambitious if flawed debut from a promising writer.'
Kirkus Reviews  (04/15/2003)
