Description
Detailing a six-hour window on April 21, 1941, The Bus features eight different narrators: six mental patients, the doctor who will kill them, and the man who will burn their corpses. Crammed into a bus with thirty-five others and unable to see out the painted windows, the patients are transferred from the Scheuern institution to the Nazi euthanasia clinic in Hadamar, Germany.
Adam Pottle’s writing explores the social and philosophical aspects of disability and Deafness. His 2013 novel Mantis Dreams: The Journal of Dr. Dexter Ripley won the 2014 Saskatoon Book Award. He lives in Saskatoon.
Advance Praise
In this remarkably gripping novella, Adam Pottle gives voice to those mentally or physically disabled persons whom the Nazis sought to silence or erase. Through a series of intertwined first-person monologues, The Bus powerfully represents their thoughts and experiences in a manner that is moving, dramatic and deeply empathetic. The Bus enables us to listen and understand the compelling human stories behind the tragedy.
-Gary Barwin, author of Yiddish for Pirates
In the riveting dystopian environment of Adam Pottle's latest fictional creation we are shown the casually cruel grit of life within a fascist hegemony...The Bus is a well-wrought account of what was and a chilling suggestion of what could be.
-Dennis E. Bolen, author of Kaspoit! and Anticipated Results
