	AllRefer.com - Imre KertEsz (Russian And Eastern European Literature, Biography) - Encyclopedia
		Imre KertEsz, Russian And Eastern European Literature, Biographies
		Of Jewish descent, KertEsz spent two years in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps, an experience that was to shape his fiction.
		In his fiction KertEsz has concentrated on the Holocaust, painting the Nazi camps as the ultimate in modern degradation, but rejecting clichEd explanations, treating the Holocaust experience as a part of everyday life that sometimes even admits happiness, and meditating on the nature of survival and conformity.

	Waggish: Fateless, Imre Kertesz
		There are moments where Kertesz all but acknowledges this disparity, when the gap between the firsthand sui generis experience and the writing of a book is simply too large to be bridged, and the older voice briefly intrudes.
		His stated goal is to report, and the book becomes more of a testament to the impossibility of describing the experience except in the actions and thoughts of the survivors after the fact.
		I imagine Kertesz, with his humble and less "proper" approach, challenging the forwardness and narrative aggression of Elie Wiesel, by refusing to discriminate between the incidentals and the moments of history, by playing against any traditional notion of how emotional states should flow in such a situation.

		Kertesz (Kaddish for an Unborn Child), who, as a youth, spent a year as a prisoner in Auschwitz, has crafted a superb, haunting novel that follows Gyorgy Koves, a 14-year old Hungarian Jew, during the year he is imprisoned in Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
		(Kertesz has indicated in interviews that although Fateless takes the form of an autobiographical novel it is not an autobiography but a work of fiction.) George is a relatively care free, naive 14 year old leading a middle class life with his family.
		Kertesz, in his Nobel Prize lecture sums it up thusly: "By which I mean that nothing has happened since Auschwitz that could reverse or refute Auschwitz.

		Imre Kertész was born in Budapest on November 9th, 1929.
		"Imre Kertész's work explores the question of whether individual existence and thought are possible in an age when people live virtually completely at the mercy of the political powers", reasoned the Academy.
		Imre Kertész feels that it is an enormous honor to be the first Hungarian writer to receive the Nobel Prize for literature.

	Imre Kertesz - Detektivgeschichte - Perlentaucher.de, Kultur und Literatur Online
		Imre Kertesz, geboren 1929 in Budapest, wurde 1944 nach Auschwitz deportiert und 1945 in Buchenwald befreit.
		Imre Kertesz' "Detektivgeschichte" entstand in den 70er Jahren als Lückenfüller, weiß Andreas Breitenstein und zeigt sich fasziniert von der souveränen Meisterschaft, mit der Kertesz diese kleine Fingerübung absolvierte.
		Zugleich stelle Kertesz klar, dass niemandem, der einmal solche staatliche Gewalt erfahren habe, noch Heilung zuteil werden könne.

	Waggish: Kaddish for a Child Not Born, Imre Kertesz
		Kertesz is, of course, far more opinionated than his adolescent stand-in of Fateless, and this interview with Gunter Grass and Kertesz gives a good idea of where Kertesz stands.
		Likewise, Kertesz seems to say, Auschwitz is a consequence of such-and-such in the lives of millions of people over hundreds of years, and that irreducibly serves as its explanation.
		But the agonized image of a man for whom every written word is a lie is far stronger in Kertesz, and it puts me in mind of, ironically, William Gass's The Tunnel, in which literary use of the Holocaust was pushed to intentionally distasteful and trivial ends.

	Waggish: Imre Kertesz: Liquidation
		The story of the liquidated novel, in the words of B.'s wife, is similar to that of Kertesz's Kaddish For a Child Not Born: a man who cannot allow himself a child in the wake of Auschwitz and so torments his wife and drives her to divorce.
		It follows from the Beckett quote, which is itself a chronicle of writing and erasure; Molloy describes the shrinking of the world to the size of a pen setting ink to paper, and the collapse of the distinction between subject and chronicler.
		He was well aware, of course, that each of them had their own sad story that had brought them to this, but Kingbitter supposed that by the time they had been brought to this, those stories had long lost any significance (if such stories can have any significance at all).

		Much of the time is spent abroad (in one year he only spends three months in his native Budapest): with the fall of the communist regime he is free(r) to travel, and takes full advantage of the new opportunities, accepting many invitations to read and speak abroad.
		Kertesz offers vignettes from the various places he travels to and through: Vienna, Zurich, Berlin, Leipzig, Tel Aviv, and elsewhere.

	National Yiddish Book Center - Fateless by Imre Kertesz, translated by Christopher C. Wilson and Katherine M. Wilson
		The 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Imre Kertesz, a Hungarian Jewish writer whose imprisonment in Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager is central to his body of work.
		Kertesz’s masterpiece, Fateless, is a spare, powerful novel told in the voice of Gyorgy Koves, a fifteen-year-old boy who is deported to Auschwitz and later liberated from Buchenwald.
		By that definition alone, Imre Kertesz is a Jewish prophet, a standing that is readily corroborated in his fiction, essays, and Nobel lecture:

	Liquidation - Imre Kertész
		Kertesz quickly drops his prescient play-within-a-novel and only picks it up again as an occasional afterthought.
		Bé was a writer and a translator (of, among others, Thomas Bernhard and Peter Weiss -- as was Kertesz) -- and an Auschwitz survivor.
		His story is a remarkable one: he was actually born in Auschwitz-Birkenau, in December 1944, among the very few children born to prisoners to survive, the infamous identification number tattooed on his leg because it did not fit on his infant-arm.

	Die Literatur der radikalen Ent-Täuschung Imre Kertész und sein Roman eines Schicksallosen
		Als der Literaturnobelpreis 2002 unter ungeteiltem Beifall an den ungarischen Autor Imre Kertész verliehen wurde, manifestierte die europäische Welt endlich ihre Bereitschaft, das unerhörte Angebot anzunehmen, das ihr ein radikal Einsamer über Jahrzehnte in seinen großartigen Werken gemacht hatte.
		Aufgrund seiner jüdischen Abstammung wurde Imre Kertész 1944, noch nicht ganz fünfzehnjährig, aus Budapest nach Auschwitz deportiert.
		Imre Kertész will seinen Text nicht einfach als autobiografischen Roman verstanden wissen: „Das Autiobiographischste in meiner Biographie ist, daß es in "Schicksalslosigkeit" nichts Autobiographisches gibt.

		Kertesz himself is an Auschwitz survivor, and all his books have put Auschwitz, something that defies explanations or answers, on center stage.
		The story of his birth and survival is one of life's small miracles, a small drop of water in a sea of evil and death.
		The only reason for this order is the assertion by some devotees of Kertesz that the book "Kaddish for a Child not Born" may represent the manuscript not found by Kingbitter in Liquidation.

	Fateless by Imre Kertesz
		Hungarian writer Imre Kertesz, this year's Nobel Prize winner for literature, published his profoundly affecting first novel in 1975.
		Kertesz masterfully portrays George's innocence at this stage, his willingness to believe that all was for the best.
		Once they arrive at Auschwitz, however, it becomes harder to understand their fate; George and his compatriots are sorted into the sick and healthy, stripped of their valuables, shaved of their body hair, given prison uniforms and made to work.

		As Kertesz's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to bring into the world he ushers readers into the labyrinth of his consciousness, dramatizing the paradoxes attendant on surviving the catastrophe of Auschwitz.
		Kaddish for the Unborn Child is a work of staggering power, lit by flashes of perverse wit and fueled by the energy of its wholly original voice.
		Imre Kertesz's novel is a tale of identity and memory - the story of a middle-aged man taking stock of his life in the everpresent shadow of the Holocaust.

		Imre Kertész is the first - and to this day only - Hungarian Nobel-prize laureate in literature, and, for this reason, probably one of the most talked about Hungarian writers in recent years.
		After ten years' work, and two more after which the novel was finally published, Imre Kertész emerged as a 'young' novelist, his first volume out at the age of 46, with Sorstalanság (Fateless).
		His unique use of language is striking, already on the first page, as he begins to tell the story of 16-year-old Gyuri Köves from the boy's perspective.
