Questions for thought and discussion

1.The first scene of the novel, coupledwith the first person narration, makes it clear that John and Kreizler at leastsurvive the events chronicled in 1896. Does this knowledge affect the tensionof the novel?

2.Everything we see, hear and learncomes from John. Do you think he is a reliable narrator? Is he honest? How dohis opinions and assumptions influence the story we read?

3.There are lots of historical touchesin the story. (For example, the history of the Delmonico family and their affecton American eating habits, Brubacher’s Wine Garden on Union Square and itsrowdy gamblers.) Do these touches enhance or detract from the mystery and thenovel as a whole for you?

4.Who did you find the most compellingcharacter? Why?

5.What purpose did Mary’s death serve?

The Alienist Novels

6.What do you think of Carr’s use offoreshadowing? (Such as John’s observations, p. 361 “never had I seen [Laszlo]look or sound so completely human as he did on that train ride. And never wouldI see him so again.”)

7.How did you feel about the frequentappearance of historical people as characters, such as Kreizler and John’smeeting with with JP Morgan and Anthony Comstock? Did the appearances lend asense of historical accuracy? Did they detract from the story?

8.How much do you think this story wouldchange if it took place in another place or time? (Would placing the storyfurther back in time, before telephones were in use, have caused fundamentalchanges? Would moving the story forward in time, say to the 1930s, have changedthe story? Would the story be different if it was set in Chicago, or SanFrancisco, or London?)

9.Was the murderer a monster? Or was hea tormented child acting out? He almost certainly killed his parents. Was thatmore justified than the deaths of the children?

10.John tells the readers he felt faintand as though he might be sick upon seeing the first body. He doesn’t say hefelt shocked or horrified. Did you believe his reaction? What do John’sreactions say about his character?

11.The murders and mutilation aresupposed to be shocking. Did you feel shocked, horrified, etc? How well (orpoorly) do you think the author did in evoking an emotional reaction to themurdered children?

About the Book

The year is 1896, the place, New York City.On a cold March night New York Times reporterJohn Schuyler Moore is summoned to the East River by his friend and formerHarvard classmate Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist, or 'alienist.'On the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge, they view the horribly mutilated body ofan adolescent boy, a prostitute from one of Manhattan's infamous brothels.
The newly appointed policecommissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, in a highly unorthodox move, enlists the twomen in the murder investigation, counting on the reserved Kreizler's intellectand Moore's knowledge of New York's vast criminal underworld. They are joinedby Sara Howard, a brave and determined woman who works as a secretary in thepolice department. Laboring in secret (for alienists, and the emergingdiscipline of psychology, are viewed by the public with skepticism at best),the unlikely team embarks on what is a revolutionary effort in criminology--amassing a psychological profile of the man they're looking for based on thedetails of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured pastand twisted mind of a murderer who has killed before. and will kill againbefore the hunt is over.
Fast-paced and gripping,infused with a historian's exactitude, TheAlienist conjures up the Gilded Age and its untarnished underside:verminous tenements and opulent mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyantgangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. Here is a New York duringan age when questioning society's belief that all killers are born, not made,could have unexpected and mortal consequences.
