About this title: Aharon Appelfeld sets this unsettling novel in the 1980s, in Israel, where an aging, embittered, and miserly Holocaust survivor named Bartfuss is locked into a bad marriage with a woman who managed to escape the camps--and whom Bartfuss therefore resents. Paradoxically, his own experiences, which he feels should make him kinder and more generous, have had the opposite effect. As he approaches the end of his life, Bartfuss struggles to come to terms with his memories and to keep alive his compassion for others.
