Reviews
"Surely the finest book of the last decade and perhaps an absolute masterpiece . . . Luce D'Eramo's book is the harshest, most in-depth account of the Nazi experience, the most uncompromising and courageous." -Goliarda Sapienza, author of Il vizio di parlare a me stessa "A lucid reflection on the horrors of Nazism and the concentration camps, but especially a work of profound excavation of memory and its repression." - Il Messaggero, "Perhaps most like D. M. Thomas' controversial The White Hotel (1981), or the unflinchingly brutal realism of Pier Pasolini's Salò , D'Eramo's tale is built from disparate memories as they returned to her later in life, and she consciously tries to avoid giving shape or structure to this fictionalization of her experiences. The result is a difficult, disturbing, and yet brilliantly ambiguous exploration of humanity's darkest time. A difficult, disturbing, and yet brilliantly ambiguous exploration of humanity's darkest time." --Alexander Moran, Booklist, "If we appreciate Karl Ove Knausgaard for his introspective tenacity, then we must genuflect before Luce D'Eramo . . . It is not simply D'Eramo's personal story, but also her ruthless quest for self-knowledge, that render Deviation a literary tour de force." --Martha Anne Toll, NPR "Luce D'Eramo's extraordinary novel Deviation , a bestseller in Italy when published in 1979 but only now available in English . . . is, as its title may imply, a rejection of the idea that literary form can be neatly separated from psychic and political life." --Lidija Haas, Harper's Magazine "Perhaps most like D. M. Thomas' controversial The White Hotel (1981), or the unflinchingly brutal realism of Pier Pasolini's Salò , D'Eramo's tale is built from disparate memories as they returned to her later in life, and she consciously tries to avoid giving shape or structure to this fictionalization of her experiences.

Synopsis
A devoted fascist changes her mind and her life after witnessing the horrors of the Holocaust First published in Italy in 1979, Luce D'Eramo's Deviation is a seminal work in Holocaust literature. It is a book that not only confronts evil head-on but expands that confrontation into a complex and intricately structured work of fiction, which has claims to standing among the greatest Italian novels of the twentieth century. Lucia is a young Italian girl from a bourgeois fascist family. In the early 1940s, when she first hears about the atrocities being perpetrated in the Nazi concentration camps, she is doubtful and confused, unable to reconcile such stories with the ideology in which she's been raised. Wanting to disprove these "slanders" on Hitler's Reich, she decides to see for herself, running away from home and heading for Germany, where she intends to volunteer as camp labor. The journey is a harrowing, surreal descent into hell, which finds Lucia confronting the stark and brutal realities of life under Nazi rule, a life in which continual violence and fear are simply the norm. Soon it becomes clear that she must get away, but how can she possibly go back to her old life knowing what she now knows? Besides, getting out may not be as simple as getting in. Finally available in English translation, Deviation is at once a personal testament, a work of the imagination, an investigation into the limits of memory, a warning to future generations, and a visceral scream at the horrors of the world.
