Kaddish For An Unborn Child by Imre Kertesz (9780099548935)

Description - Kaddish For An Unborn Child by Imre Kertesz

The first word of this haunting novel is no . It is how the narrator, a middle-aged Hungarian Jewish writer, answers an acquaintance who asks if he has a child and it is how he answered his, now ex-, wife when she told him she wanted a baby. The loss, longing, and regret that haunt the years between those two no s give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust.As Kertesz s narrator addresses the child he couldn t bear to bring into the world, he takes readers on a mesmerising, lyrical journey through his life, from his childhood to Auschwitz to his failed marriage.
