A Brief Stop On the Road From Auschwitz: A Memoir - Rosenberg, Goran

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; This shattering memoir by a journalist about his father's attempt to survive the aftermath of Auschwitz in a small industrial town in Sweden won the prestigious August Prize in 2012. In this intelligent and deeply moving book, Rosenberg returns to his own childhood to tell the story of his father; walking at his side, holding his hand, trying to get close to him. It is also the story of the chasm between the world of the child, permeated by the optimism, progress, and collective oblivion of postwar Sweden, and the world of the father, darkened by the long shadows of the past.
