Imre Kertész ist etwas Skandalöses gelungen: die Entmystifizierung von Auschwitz. Es gibt kein literarisches Werk, das in dieser Konsequenz, ohne zu deuten, ohne zu werten, der Perspektive eines staunenden Kindes treu geblieben ist. Wohl nie zuvor hat ein Autor seine Figur Schritt für Schritt bis an jene Grenze hinab begleitet, wo das nackte Leben zur hemmungslosen, glücksüchtigen, obszönen Angelegenheit wird.

Work Description

Fateless or Fatelessness (Hungarian: Sorstalanság, lit. 'Fatelessness') is a novel by Imre Kertész, winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize for literature, written between 1960 and 1973 and first published in 1975.

The novel is a semi-autobiographical story about a 14-year-old Hungarian Jew's experiences in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. The book is the first part of a trilogy, which continues in A kudarc ("Fiasco" ISBN 0-8101-1161-6) and Kaddis a meg nem született gyermekért ("Kaddish for an Unborn Child" ISBN 1-4000-7862-8).

Kertész won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2002, "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history".
