Kaddish For An Unborn Child by Imre Kertesz
A fine and powerful piece of work Dark, at times cryptic, and hugely energetic Irish Times No!" It is how a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child, and it is how he answered his wife years earlier when she told him that she wanted one.
Condenses a lifetime into a story told in a single night..exhilarating for [its] creative energy * World Literature *
Stunning... resembles such other memorably declamatory fictions as Camus' The Fall and Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground * Kirkus Reviews *
While the average reader cannot pretend truly to understand the reality of those who suffered in concentration camps, Kertész draws us one step closer * Observer *
For taking us somewhere no other writer has, Kertész fully deserved his Nobel Prize * Independent *
Tim Wilkinson is a seriously good translator...I may have given the impression that this is harrowing, and it is; but it has its moments of great, consoling insight, is about far more than just the Holocaust and in its own haunting way provides comfort for the afflicted -- Nicholas Lezard * Guardian *
