This novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1991.It is notable partly because the events occur in a reverse chronology,with time passing in reverse and the main character,a Nazi concentrattion camp doctor,becoming younger and younger during the novel.Reverse chronology is a technique borrowed from Kurt Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse 5',(1969) and Philip K. Dick's 'Counter-Clock World',(1967).
