Schopenhauer’s Telescope by Gerard Donovan is a haunting and philosophical novel set against the backdrop of war and human cruelty. The story unfolds through a chilling dialogue between two men—one digging a hole, the other holding a rifle—whose conversation moves from everyday memories to profound reflections on history, morality, and the nature of violence. With stark yet poetic prose, Donovan examines the fragility of human life, the weight of guilt, and the unsettling silence of history’s forgotten victims. This novel is both disturbing and deeply thought-provoking, offering readers a literary meditation on war, memory, and the philosophical questions of existence. It appeals to those who appreciate powerful, minimalist storytelling that lingers long after the final page.
