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.
