Décor : Camp de concentration Kat Zet I en Pologne. Personnages : Paul Doll, le Commandant ; bouffon vaniteux, lubrique, assoiffé d'alcool et de mort. Hannah Doll, l'épouse ; canon de beauté aryen, mère de jumelles, un brin rebelle. Angelus Thomsen, l'officier SS, arriviste notoire, bellâtre, coureur de jupons. Smulz, le chef du Sonderkommando ; homme le plus triste du monde. Comment explorer à nouveau une des périodes les plus sombres de l'histoire sans reprendre les mots des autres ? Comment oser un autre ton, un regard plus oblique ? Avec ce marivaudage aux allures de Monty Python en plein système concentrationnaire, Martin Amis prend le risque. Une manière de caricaturer le mécanisme de l'horreur pour le rendre plus insoutenable encore.
