See Under: LOVE: A Novel

In this powerful novel by one of Israels 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. Grossmans masterly fusing of vision thought and emotion make See Under: Love a luminously imaginative and profoundly affecting work.
