liacooper's review against another edition
i read this as a part of a literature class. i dont think this is the sort of text i can give a star rating. it was difficult. i maybe followed what feels like about 5% of it, but i found myself underlining and taking a fair number of notes and i think there's a depth here that i can barely see but that i sense beyond the screen of the lake, a richness worth wrestling with

"Ao dizer 'mas podemos narrar a história de tudo isso', o rabino havia, aliás, asseverado exatamente o contrário. 'Tudo isso' significa perda e esquecimento, e o que a narrativa conta é precisamente a história da perda do fogo, do lugar e da prece. Todo relato - toda a literatura - é, nesse sentido, memória da perda do fogo."
