Meshugah
The opening line is fantastic--"It happened more than once that someone I thought had died in Hitler's camps suddenly turned up alive and well."
I just wasn't feeling the rest of it, though. I've read a number of his short stories and really liked them, but this story is not really very interesting to me. It also seems to have lost something in translation, which I suppose is to be expected, but disappointing all the same. There's one part in particular where Max chides Aaron for addressing him by the formal 'you' when he should be using 'thou', but since we don't speak that way in English anymore, Aaron continues using 'you' and I suppose we're meant to understand that he is now addressing Max informally. I would probably like this better if I could read it in Yiddish.
