Description
|
|
|
|
From the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and author of Night comes this slim yet powerful novel, a deeply felt inquiry of morality, guilt, and innocence. Despite his personal success, Yedidyah—a theater critic in New York City, husband to a stage actress, and father to two sons—finds himself increasingly drawn to the past, reminiscing about the relationships he once had with his father and the other men in his family, and questions that remain unanswered. This feeling is further complicated when Yedidyah covers the murder trial of a German expatriate named Werner Sonderberg who apparently killed his elderly uncle, and who pleads enigmatically, "Guilty ... and not guilty." "Elie Wiesel continues to be a voice of modern humanity's conscience with his latest work, a beautifully layered book.... For a brief moment of holy catharsis, we become Wiesel."—Time Out New York "From the first clear, simple sentence, melancholy hangs over the story, always permeating the author's voice.... The theme of the Jew today confronting his own family history remains powerful."—Booklist
