Радист

Бремме разделся. Он снимал форму медленно, словно совершал обряд расхлёбывания. Каждая пуговица с рунами была чешуйкой его гордости. Он сложил китель ровно, как складывают знамя перед капитуляцией. SS — две серебряные молнии на петлицах, два застывших разряда чистого порядка, теперь казались выцветшими шрамами на теле самой истории. Они больше не давали силы, они лишь холодили пальцы мёртвым металлом

Limbo Zone. Chapter 10. Berlin

The twenties. The Berlin of the twenties, the Berlin Fritz had known as a bachelor, which smelled of champagne, gasoline, and perfume — the Berlin of cabarets and sleepless nights. People on the sidewalks. Women with short haircuts, with lips smeared with black lipstick, in dresses embroidered with bugle beads. Men in tailcoats, drunk, one vomiting champagne into a gutter, while a woman in a red dress supported him, and both laughed

Limbo Zone. Chapter 9. The Platform

What he was doing could not be called a dance, the way a convulsion cannot be called a dance, the way a seizure cannot be called a dance, the way St. Vitus’ Dance cannot be called a dance. But he moved, and his movements were rhythmic, and the rhythm was precise, and the precision was inhuman. His body jerked, contorted, fractured at the joints, his head tossed, his arms flew up and fell, his feet beat a sound out of the stone that was older than music

Limbo Zone. Chapter 8. The Parish

“The country is torn apart,” Schaefer continued the next day, and his voice returned to its chronicling evenness. “Torn apart. The Red Army is stationed all across East and Central Germany. Breslau is the Russian zone. Berlin too. The West is occupied by the French and the British. And between them,” he traced a finger through the air, drawing an invisible line, “between the Elbe and the Weser — neutral territory. The gray zone”

Limbo Zone. Chapter 7. The Chrysalis

Helga is still there. In the stream. She wears a coarse, baggy coat — a man’s, off someone else’s shoulder — and she moves with the stream, along a concrete chute — down, underground, to the showers — and she looks at him, directly, through the fire — with eyes full of bottomless, infinite, inhuman sorrow — with eyes that know — and her lips move, and through the roar of the flame: “Fritz. Why didn’t you burn the portfolio?”

Limbo Zone. Chapter 6. The Mandala

Zimmer no longer belonged to the world of living, meaningful geometry. An invisible force struck him in the chest. The driver’s body jerked backward unnaturally, like a puppet, pressing into the seatback. His hands tore away from the steering wheel, soaring upward in a gesture of antique supplication. For a second, he froze in this pose — a man crucified by the speed of a bullet, with childish, pure astonishment in his wide eyes

Limbo Zone. Chapter 5. The Blue Dress

Hauptsturmführer Ludwig Klein, thirty-four years old. They had served together five years ago in the Totenkopfverbände, in Dachau, back when Dachau was still a model, a showcase camp exhibited to foreign journalists. Klein was one of those who genuinely believed that the camp was a school, that the prisoners were students, and that discipline was love. This belief had not weakened over the years; it had merely hardened, like clay in a kiln

Limbo Zone. Chapter 4. Smoke

Fritz Lang was silent. He looked at the black, greasy smoke rising over the highway. And in his mind, another smoke arose once more. White, even, methodical. The two smokes, black and white, mingled, and the line between them grew razor-thin. The ash needed a hearth. It needed a place where Fritz could become what he was destined to become. He was silent for a long time. A minute. Two. Then he adjusted the collar of his tunic

Limbo Zone. Chapter 3. The Farm

The voice filled the room. It penetrated the clay bowls, the white, sweating salo, the wood of the table. It was an illusion — a sound recorded on a piece of tape, broadcast from nowhere to nowhere, no hay banda — but the sadness was absolutely real. Three men sat at the table — two Germans and one Ukrainian — and listened to a woman singing on a radio that shouldn’t have been working, on a frequency that shouldn’t exist

Limbo Zone. Chapter 2. Dust

Fritz looked into the animal’s yellow eyes. He knew that look. He had seen it on the Appellplatz in Sachsenhausen when women were being led out of the barracks, those being transferred — where? To another barracks? To another facility? To another column? — and they would turn, and their eyes would dart along the line — and the question was the same, the same, always the same: Where? Where are mine?
