'A fine and powerful piece of work... Dark, at times cryptic, and hugely
energetic' Irish Times "No!" is the first word of this haunting novel.
It is how a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer answers an acquaintance
who asks him if he has a child, and it is how he answered his wife years
earlier when she told him that she wanted one.
The loss,
longing and regret that haunt the years between these two 'No!'s give
rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the
Holocaust. As Kertesz's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to
bring into the world, he takes readers on a mesmerising, lyrical
journey through his life, from his childhood to Auschwitz to his failed
marriage.
