About this title

Review:

"Lustig writes about the Holocaust experience with a modest authority that is virtually unique-His genius lies in his ability to understate themes and situations which cry out for melodramatic treatment" (Lawrence L Langer Washington Post)

"Wholly unsentimental and clean of self-pity, Lustig returns in his novels and stories to the harrowing landscape of his youth, discovering within its brutal boundaries the grim but still achingly recognizable panoply of a last, vast, various neighbourhood of man" (Johanna Kaplan New York Times)
