β¦ Synopsis
Β
ΒDelboβs exquisite and unflinching account of life and death under Nazi atrocity grows fiercer and richer with time. The superb new introduction by Lawrence L. Langer illuminates the subtlety and complexity of Delboβs meditation on memory, time, culpability, and survival, in the context of what Langer calls the Βafterdeathβ of the Holocaust. Delboβs powerful trilogy belongs on every bookshelf.βΒSara R. Horowitz, York University
