Items related to Soul of Wood
First published in 1962, this novel draws on Lind's youthful memory of war and occupation. There are no great heroes in his work, no great villains, only the little bewildered men: prisoners, Jews, petty officials of the Third Reich.

Review:
Soul of Wood succeeds through the sheer wickedly comic telling; for all the surrealist gags, frenetic symbolism and laughs, the horror strikes one full in the face. (Irish Times)
Reading Lind can feel a bit like chasing the dissolving threads of a dream (or nightmare). But at its best his prose can be devestatingly illuminating... Jakov Lind had a rare ability to shake the foundations of ethical constructions. And he could make us laugh. The combination is irresistible. (Jewish Chronicle)
About the Author:
Reading Lind can feel a bit like chasing the dissolving threads of a dream (or nightmare). But at its best his prose can be devestatingly illuminating... Jakov Lind had a rare ability to shake the foundations of ethical constructions. And he could make us laugh. The combination is irresistible. (Jewish Chronicle)
Jakov Lind (1927-2007) was born in Vienna. He fled Austria when he was eleven, finding temporary refuge in Holland, and then surviving inside Nazi Germany by assuming a Dutch identity. After a literary apprenticeship in Israel, he moved to London, where he wrote, in German, the short stories and novels on which his stature as a major European writer is based: Soul of Wood, Landscape in Concrete, and Ergo.
