Memoirs of an Anti-Semite is a novel by Gregor von Rezzori, set in Romania, Austria, and Germany between the world wars of the last century. The story follows a man who recounts his childhood, his passion for hunting, and his love for the wild landscape of Romania. Through fantastic and colorful stories of Bucharest in the late twenties and early thirties, the protagonist dissects his own moral development. We accompany the main character as the Nazis take over Austria and his own anti-Semitism is shaken to its core. Later, we find him as an older man, haunted by his own protean character and by the tragic web of memories and events that make up his history, as well as by the great love of his life, a beautiful Jewish woman.
