Reviews
"God only makes a few genius reporters, and even in that small company, Mark Jacobson is one of a kind. He can follow his nose so deep into a story that every page is a surprise. At the end ofThe Lampshade,there is a big surprise: all that weirdness has begun to make sense. Of course, by that time, your vision is broader; you've been seeing the world through his eyes."--Richard Ben Cramer, author ofWhat It Takes, andJoe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life, "This books is equal parts fascinating and unnerving. Mark Jacobson takes us on an eerie detective trail as he traces down the origins of a lampshade bought in New Orleans just after the hurricane. It's gripping and deeply philosophical."--Walter Isaacson, author ofAmerican SketchesandEinstein, "Antic, improbable and resonant . . . an entangling meditation on not merely Nazi atrocities but on the nature of authenticity." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times, "Jacobson's writing is . . . both gonzo and fiercely, fiercely smart. The Lampshade is an awfully good book and it's exceptionally heartfelt." --Bryan Curtis, The Daily Beast, "A disquieting yet utterly fascinating account, artfully told, studded with characters that would have been impossible to invent. Although you don't always know where Jacobson is taking you on this weird and wondrous ride, you're never sorry that you climbed aboard."--Jon Krakauer, author ofInto Thin AirandWhere Men Win Glory, "God only makes a few genius reporters, and even in that small company, Mark Jacobson is one of a kind. He can follow his nose so deep into a story that every page is a surprise." --Richard Ben Cramer, "Antic, improbable and resonant hellip; When you put it down, you look forward to picking it up again." -Dwight Gardiner,The New York Times, "Provocative....A well-executed, original reflection on how social evil tends to endure, puzzle and resist efforts at redemption."--Kirkus, "A disquieting yet utterly fascinating account, artfully told, studded with characters that would have been impossible to invent." --Jon Krakauer, "Fascinating and frequently unsettling....Journalist Jacobson avoids sensationalizing this inherently sensational story.... A chilling reminder that the aftereffects of World War II and the Holocaust continue to be felt, even in the most unlikely of ways."-David Pitt,Booklist, "Antic, improbable and resonant . . . an entangling meditation on not merely Nazi atrocities but on the nature of authenticity." -Dwight Garner, The New York Times, "A disquieting yet utterly fascinating account, artfully told, studded with characters that would have been impossible to invent." -Jon Krakauer, "Equal parts fascinating and unnerving. Mark Jacobson takes us on an eerie detective trail." -Walter Isaacson, "Jacobson's writing is . . . both gonzo and fiercely, fiercely smart.

Synopsis
Few growing up in the aftermath of World War II will ever forget the horrifying reports that Nazi concentration camp doctors had removed the skin of prison ers to make common, everyday lampshades. In The Lampshade, bestselling journalist Mark Jacobson tells the story of how he came into possession of one of these awful objects, and of his search to establish the origin, and larger meaning, of what can only be described as an icon of terror. From Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem to the Buchenwald concentration camp to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, almost everything Jacobson uncovers about the lampshade is contradictory, mysterious, shot through with legend and specious information. Through interviews with forensic experts, famous Holocaust scholars (and deniers), Buchenwald survivors and liberators, and New Orleans thieves and cops, Jacobson gradually comes to see the lampshade as a ghostly illuminator of his own existential status as a Jew, and to understand exactly what that means in the context of human responsibility. One question looms as his search progresses: what to do with the lampshade--this unsettling thing that used to be someone?
