«Kaddish for a Child Not Born» is the novel by Imre Kertész published by Northwestern University Press in paperback (95 pages, in English).
A middle-aged Hungarian writer and Holocaust survivor explains to a friend, during a writers' retreat, why he cannot bring a child into a world where the Holocaust was possible. His monologue reviews a frustrated career, a broken marriage and the memory of trauma, without renouncing hope.
