A review by vleblanc
Fatelessness by Imre Kertész

3.0

I discovered this book by searching for novels set in Budapest ahead of my trip there. This novel is the story of a boy who survives the Holocaust. It was very heavy, so I read it intermittently. This likely affected my rating of the book. It has very beautiful language, though sometimes the sentences are so long and have so many clauses, I get lost. Finishing it after having visited Budapest was very touching as there is mention of the incident commemorated by the Shoes on the Danube memorial.

I think I would like to read it a second time to fully digest it.
