Yes, it is post-modernist writing. The writer acknowledges their search, bias and referencing – up to a point.
It is all coloured by their own particular lens.
Trying to hunt out what may or may not have happened in a room 60 years ago can go the way of total fiction or a very good reconstruction.
Binet has a novelist’s eye for reconstruction.
He was especially good at this in the lead up to the assassination, as the assassins waited on the street in Prague.
The tension built, and he diverted us a number of times until I was so frustrated, as I wanted to know how it all went down.
Any way my other diversion is the knowledge that Hitler was on a cocktail of amphetamines.

It seems many soldiers and leaders were/are.
