| Description: | At a time when so-called millennial malaise is being harped on in the news, it is perversely reassuring to look back on a time when disaster really was imminent. This was the latter half of the 1930s, when democracy had all but succumbed to radical authoritarianism. Hitler was on one side and Stalin on the other, heads of the largest street gangs the world had ever seen, poised for battle over the prize turf of Europe and points beyond. This is the period mined by Alan Furst, author of five previous historical espionage thrillers, whose latest novel, Kingdom of Shadows, shows the author in his element. I had a publishing history of murder mysteries, Furst recalled during an interview in the offices of his publisher, Random House. I had written some other books which didn't go anywhere, and I didn't particularly like them. It was during a trip to the former Soviet Union in 1982 that the author he found his new direction, Furst said. Suddenly I had everything in the world to write about. I chose a time in the century which had the greatest moments for novels -- the late '30s and World War II. |
