One of the Great Novels of the Holocaust
Imre Kertesz's Fateless considered
The book is also translated as Fatelessness, and the fact that there have been two translations over a very short time speak, I think, to the merits of this very fine book. Kertesz won the Nobel Prize a few years back and seems to have sunk largely into that slough of the forgotten--ironic considering that one of his books is about that precisely. If you get a chance, you should take up Fateless/Fatelessness
