The emperor of lies
Best fiction and fiction-related books of 2011 (2011-11-16)

2. Steve Sem-Samberg, The Emperor of Lies, A Novel .  “I don’t want to read any more about the Holocaust” is not good enough reason to neglect this stunning Swedish novel.  A fictionalized account of the Lodz Ghetto, it looks at the lives of the ghetto rulers and whether they were heroes or collaborators.  I found it tough to read more than one hundred pages of this at a time; by focusing on the suicides rather than the murder victims, it is especially brutal.  Get up the gumption.
