«Fateless» is Imre Kertész's Holocaust novel, published by Vintage in paperback (272 pages, in English).
Gyuri, a fourteen-year-old Hungarian Jew, watches his father leave for forced labor and is soon arrested without explanation on his way to work. That arrest takes him to Auschwitz, where he does not fit in among the other deportees and is rejected by them; his strangeness makes him a sharp observer of the camp's dehumanization.
Imre Kertész's first novel, originally published in 1975 as «Sorstalanság». The 2006 Vintage edition is the «Film Tie-In» version. Imre Kertész won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2002.
For readers of historical fiction and Holocaust literature.
Imre Kertész was a Hungarian author and recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history". He was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel in Literature. His works deal with themes of the Holocaust, dictatorship, and personal freedom.
