Requirements: ePUB reader, 8.0 MB
Overview: Thirty years in the making, William H. Gass’s magnum opus and second novel first appeared on the literary scene in 1995, at which time it was promptly hailed as an indisputable masterpiece. "The Tunnel" won the American Book Award of 1996, and was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner award.
William Frederick Kohler, a professor of history at an unnamed university in the American Midwest attempts to write the introduction to his major work on World War II, Guilt and Innocence in Hitler’s Germany, the culmination of his years studying the aspects of the Nazi regime in the scope of its causes and effects. Unable to do so, Kohler instead starts "The Tunnel", a brutally honest and subjective depiction of his own life and history and the opposite of the well-argued, researched and objective book he has just completed. When the harsh reality of his work begins to dawn on him, he fears that his wife, Martha, will stumble onto his papers and read his most personal (and cruel) descriptions of his and their life. Because of this fear, he hides the pages of "The Tunnel" inside of Guilt and Innocence in Hitler’s Germany. He also starts to dig a tunnel underneath the basement of his home, hiding the dirt inside the drawers of his wife’s collection of antique furniture.
