Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-19 00:00:00 Oscar Still Prose is lyrical, story is powerful, at times it is profound. However, there is a disconnection between the reader and characters. Still, a must read for those interested in Holocaust literature.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-30 00:00:00 Martyn Graham This is a rare gem of a book, not for the faint hearted or casual reader. Sebald aficionados will see where W.G. got his flair for the art of insinuation and the use of parable, as well as his inclination for crystal clear prose. H.G.Adler, a survivor of two concentration camps, has managed to fictionalize the experience of persecution and displacement, making it resonate for all historical periods, times, circumstances, people. This is a deeply humane expression of literature, a significant and demanding read that will stay with the reader and hit a nerve, hopefully teaching us to do our best never to repeat these dark times again.
