Description
A series of murders is met with a sentence that is not commensurate with the gravity of the crimes, but rather ambiguous in its leniency: the perpetrators must offer an apology to those they killed. The eighteen individuals in this novel—chosen by the crimes themselves, whether by chance or design, to bring them to pass—accept this baffling condition. They set out to climb the mountain toward the resting place of their victims, without guides or maps to lead the way.
The novel presents the crimes, depicts the states of mind of the killers—who are strangers to one another—and documents their questioning of the meaning behind this seemingly absurd ascent. Yet, where are they truly headed?
