In the summer of 1933, an obscure (albeit idyllic) German town stands firm against the creep of authoritarian rule. The story is told in the present tense, first-person plural, immersing the reader in the collective thinking of a dottering town council, whose internal machinations border on the absurd. Often witty and rife with ribald humor, The Greater Good is at its core a reflection upon the precepts of freedom, integrity, and the fragility of the human condition.
