Story of a man taking stock of his life in the shadow of the Holocaust. By the winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize for literature.

Released in postal trade to meeradji in Canada.

thank you, i got it today.
I'm looking forward to reading it!

an interesting piece of literature. It felt like a kind of hermetic world to me. I'm glad i could have a look at it!

the book is part of a trade and is travelling to Toronto. Happy reading!

Received today in the mail. What a quick trip! Thanks meeradji!

Finished this on the weekend. I enjoyed the language of the book, the repeated phrases, and the emotion. I think this book is best read in large chunks as it is easy to lose track of the narrative if read in small bits at a time.

A lovely quote from the book:

"...those sentences we have a need for will, sooner or later, find us..."

Reserved for jessibud at the 2006 Bookcrossing Convention in Toronto.

Thanks, C-B-L. Many years ago, I went through a phase of reading Holocaust literature. Then I needed a break from it.

Last year, I was part of a bookring for another Holocaust-era book and this one looks to be a small but important one to add to my repertoire.

Thanks for saving it for me!

And I like your bookmark! :-)

I just finished a big bookring book and was in the mood for something small and quick. I pulled this one from Mt. TBR but sadly, although I had been intrigued by the description of the story, I am unable to read this book. It has no paragraphs!!! Well, almost none. It is 95 pages of pretty much one long paragraph!

I am a person who reads mostly at night before bed, during my school year. I need to have delineated breaks in a book; chapters or at least, reasonable paragraph breaks, in order to know where to return to when I pick the book up again. Even as a kid, I always needed to read to the end of a chapter.

I am a bit surprised at how much this bothers me. This is the second book I have abandoned for this very reason. Sigh.

Thanks for the opportunity, though. I hope someone else will enjoy it. It is now available

Sending this on to SqueakyChu for release at a special book festival in April.

I received this book from jessibud to give away at the 2007 International Day of the Book festival in Kensington, Maryland. Thank you so much!

This book was selected by someone yesterday at the International Day of the Book festival in Kensington, Maryland.

Here's hoping the recipient had fun at the festival and will enjoy the book. I'd love for this book to be journaled by its finder so other BookCrossers can know it's in appreciative hands and your thoughts about it. Thanks!
