The Man Who Saw Everything

The Man Who Saw Everything

by Deborah Levy

An examination of perception and power, 'The Man Who Saw Everything' tells the story of Saul Adler, a young historian whose fateful encounter on the Abbey Road sets off a series of events altering his reality. Set against the backdrop of East Berlin in 1988, while he's conducting research under the expectant eye of a repressive regime, Saul grapples with love, betrayal, and the ghostly presence of history. Struck by a car, his life diverges onto an odyssey that challenges the viewer's understanding of past and present, while Levy's masterful prose blurs the lines between the political and personal, the masculine and feminine. It's a narrative that contemplates how individuals and societies curate their own histories and perceptions through a lens readily distorted by power and desire.
