A review by _annabel
The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz

4.0

It was pretty good, it reminded me a lot of confederacy of dunces. Maybe because the author died before it was published and his mother had to finish it off. But then it was also was pretty surreal. It’s about a Jewish man, living in Berlin with his non-Jewish wife. He’s rich, owns a business and then Hitler happens and they start being arrested. He can’t get out of the country and so he starts just crossing the country on the trains, desperate to get out, getting more and more tired. It certainly had its own atmosphere.
