I always do my best to write worthwhile reviews about worthwhile books. ;-)<br /><br />My experience with the books of Imre Kertész is the same as yours. Several years ago I read his novel <i><b>Fateless</b></i> and like you I found that it was one of the best books of all time about experiences in the concentrations camps - along with Viktor E. Frankl's <i><b>Man's Search for Meaning</b></i> which is of course autobiographical. You'll see that <i><b>Kaddish for an Unborn Child</b></i> is quite different and not limited to the concentration camps since it also touches on the living conditions in a Communist regime.<br /><br />Meanwhile I also read Imre Kertész's "autobiography" titled <i><b>Dossier K.</b></i> and it was very interesting to see the differences between his true story and his novels.Edith LaGrazianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885017198423641770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322995747669796194.post-77065004685084185882013-12-09T17:38:28.355+01:002013-12-09T17:38:28.355+01:00This book has been on my wishlist for quite a whil...This book has been on my wishlist for quite a while. I read <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/kertesz-imre-fateless.html" rel="nofollow">Fateless</a> a couple of years ago and thought it was one of the best books I read on this subject. True, not cheerful at all but I don't think one should expect that on a book about this kind of subject.<br /><br />Thanks as always for an excellent review.<br /><br />Marianne from <a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Let's Read</a>Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.com
