A Woman Named Solitude by Andre Schwarzbart
Like his previous book Last of the Just, which traced the Jewish experience of martyrdom, this book recreates through fact and myth people's enslavement, humiliation and survival.
This book must be read to be believed... Surely it shouldn't be possible to tell the tortures of slavery in the manner of a fairy tale and still convey the extent of the atrocity.... Andre Schwarz-Bart can, and does make literature out of agony." —New York Times Book Review
"A beautiful book, told in a dreamlike flow of images.... The work of a conscientious and gifted writer." —The New York Review of Books
"Although written in a deceptively uncontrived style, this very powerful book brilliantly telescopes history and conveys all the breadth of emotion of a good epic poem." —The New Yorker
