The Holocaust as Culture
" ... Reflecting on his experiences of the Holocaust and the Soviet occupation of Hungary following the Second World War, Kertész likens the ideolkogical machinery of National Socialism to the oppressive routines of life under Communism. He also discusses the complex publication history of Fatelessness, his ... novel about the experiences of a Hungarian child deported to Auschwitz and the lack of interest with which it was met in Hungary due to its failure to conform to the Communist government's simplistic history of the relationship betwen Nazi occupiers and Communist liberators.

The Life of Thomas Cooper
Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Cooper: Written by Himself I am setting out to write my memoirs with the rigid purpose of telling the truth to the best of my know ledge.

Father's on the Phone with the Flies
To create the poems in this collection, Nobel Prize-winner Herta M ller cut up countless newspapers and magazines in search of striking phrases, words, or even fragments of words, which she then arranged in a the form of a collage. Father's on the Phone with the Flies presents seventy-three of M ller's collage poems for the first time in English translation, alongside full-color reproductions of the originals. M ller takes full advantage of the collage form, generating poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphors--the disruption and dislocation at their core rendered visible through stark contrasts in color, font, and type size. Liberating words from conformity and coercion, M ller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal experience. Sure to thrill any fan of contemporary literature, Father's on the Phone with the Flies is an unexpected, exciting work from one of the most protean writers ever to win the Nobel.
