An epistolary novelette written in 1938 but set between 1932 and 1934, Address Unknown is comprised of fictional letters between two German business partners, one living in Munich and one in San Francisco. When it was originally published, it shocked its American audience with its portrayal of the Nazi poisoning of the German people, and over 80 years on, it remains an effective and compelling example of the historical fiction genre.

This short gut punch of an epistolary novel from 1938 is about the rise of Nazism in Germany and how it swept ordinary people up in its zeal to make Germany great again, and about how it made people act in inhuman ways. Chilling, not to mention frighteningly timely and unfortunately relevant.
