This astonishing, autobiographical tour de force was written by Hans Fallada in an encrypted notebook while he was incarcerated in a Nazi insane asylum. Discovered after his death, it tells the tale--often fierce, often poignant, often extremely funny--of a small businessman losing control as he fights valiantly to blot out an increasingly oppressive society.
