Famous Last Words by Timothy Findley
At the end of World War II, a disgraced poet named Hugh Selwyn Mauberley covers the walls of an abandoned grand hotel with a feverish confession that links his own moral collapse to the rise of fascism. He recounts his entanglements with high society and notorious sympathizers—including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor—spinning a tale of espionage, seduction, and betrayal that cuts across New York, London, and Berlin. Unreliable and compulsive, his narrative blurs truth and fabrication, probing how glamour, ambition, and fear can corrode conscience as history closes in.
