Inmate 1818 and Other Stories
Autor Bernard Ottermanen Limba Engleză Paperback
Scholars and fans of the work of Franz Kafka, Chaim Grade, Primo Levi, Ida Fink, and Henryk Grynberg will find immediate parallels to Otterman's writing. His poems have been published in Poetry, Jewish Currents and other noted journals while his short stories have appeared in New Millennium Writings and Word/Slovo. Inmate 1818 and Other Stories is Otterman's third published collection of Holocaust-related short fiction. This collection is not to be missed-and once read, never forgotten. Praise for Bernard Otterman: "Facing the notoriously difficult task of representing the Holocaust and its aftermath, the author creates fantastical situations that parallel the surrealism of the Shoah itself. Otterman's willingness to engage creatively with the metaphysical questions raised by the Holocaust should be applauded." - Marissa Brostoff, The Jewish Daily Forward "Polish born writer Bernard Otterman portrays the textured worlds of pre, during, and post World War II. These are stories of inherent drama, yet there is no exploitation of events here. Often understated, frequently macabre, Otterman's observant narrators see the world, as it is, surreal, yes, otherworldly, unbearable, and somehow wry." - Martha Rhodes, Founding Editor and Director of Four Way Books "Here is historical fiction at its finest, concise and penetrating. Otterman's vivid tales of life during and after history's darkest hour explore complex issues such as complicity, denial, and shame with sensitivity and skill." - Joshua M. Greene, author of Justice at Dachau and Witness: Voices from the Holocaust "A tour de force from a marvelous writer who himself survived the wrath of the Nazis." - Harvey Rachlin, author of Lucy's Bones, Sacred Stones and Einstein's Brain "Holocaust survivor, Bernard Otterman, locates some of his stories in the ghettos and the camps, others in the aftermath of WWII. This double narrative perspective greatly enriches his collection, whose stories are often chilling but always powerful and imaginative. Readers will be captivated by characters they will never forget." - Patrick Gerard Henry, author of We Only Know Men: The Rescue of Jews in France during the Holocaust
