A remarkable novel written by the Brazilian journalist Bernardo Kucinski. K is the story of a father who searches desperately for his daughter, 'disappeared' during the military dictatorship in Brazil. The father is himself a refugee from Poland in the 1930s. He is racked by feelings of guilt--that because he was immersed in his Yiddish writing and scholarship, he did not really know his daughter or the danger that threatened her. The novel is based on a true story - the disappearance of Kucinski's younger sister in 1973. As the author says, 'Everything in this book is invented but almost everything happened'.The first Brazilian edition sold out in a few weeks, and the novel has been shortlisted for literary awards in Brazil and Portugal. Most recently it has been short-listed for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award 2015. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It is an absolutely astounding work - incredibly powerful and well put together; these fragmentary stories Kucinski assembles are so well blended that they embody the whole life of a nation and time in a way that means you cannot help but understand the hardships faced. Books like this are important and as I understand it, this is one of the best on ‘the disappeared’. I can’t recommend this enough; as awareness to such government but also in order to read a book that holds so much of life and humanity (the good and the bad) so cleverly and so skilfully. Like it says on the cover, ‘it is both a riveting novel and an important historical document’ a great accomplishment. ( )
