Sefer : a novel / by Ewa Lipska ; translated from the Polish by Barbara Bogoczek and Tony Howard. - Edmonton, AB : AU Press, (c)2012. - 1 online resource (156 pages). - Mingling voices, .
Translation of: Sefer.
Includes bibliographical references.
Poetic, witty, and ever so faintly surreal, Sefer delicately explores the legacy of the Holocaust for the postwar generation, a generation for whom a devastating history has grown distant, both temporally and emotionally. Much like memory itself, Sefer speaks to us obliquely, through the juxtaposition of images and vignettes rather than through the construction of a linear narrative. With its fragmentary structure and its preference for hints rather than explanations, the novel belongs to the realm of the postmodern, while it also incorporates subtle elements of magical realism.
