Fiction
In this powerful novel by one of Israel's most prominent
writers, Momik, the only child of Holocaust survivors, grows
up in the shadow of his parents' history. Determined to
exorcise the Nazi "beast" from their shattered lives and
prepare for a second holocaust he knows is coming, Momik
increasingly shields himself from all feeling and
attachment. But through the stories his great-uncle tells
him-the same stories he told the commandant of a Nazi
concentration camp-Momik too, becomes "infected with
humanity." Grossman's masterly fusing of vision, thought,
and emotion makes See Under: Love a luminously imaginative
and profoundly affecting work.AUTHORBIO: DAVID GROSSMAN is
the author of two books of journalism, several children's
books, a play, and six novels including his new novel, Be My
Knife. He lives in Jerusalem.
