'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.
