The Questioner is a 2018 novella by Andrew Vachss, published late in his career. Like his other work, it operates in the dark territory between crime fiction and moral argument. Vachss always wrote lean prose, and the novella format fit his style well. There is no padding here, just a direct story told in his trademark clipped voice.
This novella is one of Vachss’s final published works and shows his style fully refined after decades of writing. Readers who have followed Vachss from Flood through Another Life will recognize the tone and the concerns. For those new to his work, The Questioner offers a quick, concentrated sample of what Vachss did across a forty-year career.
