Set in contemporary Israel, The Immortal Bartfuss is perhaps the
most profound and powerful portrait of a Holocaust survivor ever
drawn. Using the techniques of omission and indirection perfected
in such masterpieces as Badenheim 1939 and To the Land of the
Cattails, Appelfeld tells the story of Bartfuss, enigmatically "the
immortal" because of his experience in the camps. Now locked in a
hopeless marriage, Bartfuss struggles to suppress the emotions and
recollections he fears and despises, while trying to keep alive the
poise, dignity, and compassion essential to a human being. The
Immortal Bartfuss is an overwhelming and unforgettable study of a
man reduced to his tragic limits.
