Blameless by Claudio Magris
The book centers on a man whose maniacal devotion to creating a Museum of War hides a horrible secret and a hope for redemption. Luisa Brooks, the museum's curator and a descendant of victims of Jewish exile and black slavery, faces a dilemma: will the collections help prevent repetition of violent history or will they valorize and memorialize atrocities? Interweaving multiple stories, the narrative examines individual sorrow, the societal burden of justice aborted, and the ways memory and historical evidence are sabotaged or sometimes salvaged.
