{"product_id":"kaddish-for-an-unborn-child-9781400078622","title":"Kaddish for an Unborn Child","description":"The first word in this mesmerizing novel by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is \"No.\" It is how the novel's narrator, a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer, answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child. It is the answer he gave his wife (now ex-wife) years earlier when she told him that she wanted one. The loss, longing and regret that haunt the years between those two \"no\"s give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Kertesz's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to bring into the world he ushers readers into the labyrinth of his consciousness, dramatizing the paradoxes attendant on surviving the catastrophe of Auschwitz. \u003cb\u003eKaddish for the Unborn Child\u003c\/b\u003e is a work of staggering power, lit by flashes of perverse wit and fueled by the energy of its wholly original voice. \u003cbr\u003eTranslated by Tim Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400078622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.22w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2005 pg. 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Imre Kert\u0026#233;sz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096154374325,"sku":"9781400078622","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d7aebae5-3751-495c-9f89-da55075b43cf.jpg?v=1692802855","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kaddish-for-an-unborn-child-9781400078622","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
