«Kaddish por el hijo no nacido» is the novel by Imre Kertész, published by Acantilado in paperback, with 152 pages, in Spanish.
A man speaks of himself and of the shadow that Auschwitz casts over his life, a shadow that leads him to consider having a child impossible. His confession, marked by the trauma of war, transcends the personal and turns unrealized fatherhood into a collective question about the future.
Translation from the Hungarian by Adán Kovacsics; a 1990 work included as number 5 in Acantilado's Narrativa series. Kertész was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2002.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Holocaust literature, as well as for those who follow the work of Imre Kertész.
