Jorge Volpi, in Em busca de Klingsor (translated as In Search of Klingsor), tells a story about physicists and mathematicians in the mid-XXth century and the search for Hitler's science adivisor, known only by his code name Klingsor (ob. cit. Parsifal). The story weaves fictional characters with the lives of Heisenberg, Gödel, Bohr, and more. It should appeal to folks that enjoyed Cryptonomicon and other novels with hard science.

That said, I found this error.

Los estudios de Heinrich no podian ir mejor--por momentos llegaba a envidiarlo--y parecia seguro que, después de terminar sus estudios en Berlín, sería aceptado en el programa de doctorado en Heidelberg, presidido por Martin Heidegger.

[Enowning translation: Heinrich's studies could not go better--at times I envied him--and it seemed sure that, after finishing his studies in Berlin, he would be accepted in the doctoral program at Heidelberg, presided by Martin Heidegger]

P. 169

Heidegger, of course, never taught at Heidelberg. That mistake has been around for a over a decade now, mainly repeated in right wing diatribes against Heidegger. I suspect it originated from a report on a speech Heidegger gave at that university in 1933, from which someone assumed that he taught there, and which has been repeated ever since by authors whose knowledge of Heidegger is limited to that incorrect tidbit. This leaves me in doubt about other accounts related in the book, like that of Kronecker's feud with Cantor. Another thread in the book is about authors, narratives, and can they be trusted?  ¶ 5:15 PM
