Kaddish for an Unborn Child
of Imre Kertész, Tim Wilkinson (Translator)
Series: The Holocaust
Description
The first word in this mesmerizing novel by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is âNo.â It is how the novelâs narrator, a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer, answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child. It is the answer he gave his wife (now ex-wife) years earlier when she told him she wanted one. The loss, longing and regret that haunt the years between those two ânoâs give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. As Kerteszâs narrator addresses the child he couldnât bear to bring into the world he ushers readers into the labyrinth of his consciousness, dramatizing the paradoxes attendant on surviving the catastrophe of Auschwitz. Kaddish for the Unborn Child is a work of staggering power, lit by flashes of perverse wit and fueled by the energy of its wholly original voice. Translated by Tim Wilkinson
