Recenzii
A brilliant short novel that serves as a brave, sharp-toothed brief against letting the past devour the present
A brilliant, challenging, and uncompromising novel
A bracing corrective to the recent literary fashion for Holocaust kitsch. It takes a fearless and astringent look at the use and abuse of Holocaust memory and emerges with answers every bit as challenging and uncomfortable as this topic demands
Sarid's incisive critique of Holocaust memorialization, the corruption within it, and the perverse forms of nationalism it can engender is courageous.... Anything but moralistic, it leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions about the complex politics of Holocaust memorialization and its many layers of irony ... Nuanced and subtle at every level
The short but powerful novel raises the question of how far we let the horrors of the past infiltrate our present-day lives.... The Memory Monster is not an easy book to read but its message is important to hear
While countless writers have asked the question of where, or if, humanity can be found within the profoundly inhumane, Sarid incisively shows how preoccupation and obsession with the inhumane can take a toll on one's own humanity... A bold, masterful exploration of the banality of evil and the nature of revenge, controversial no matter how it is read
Sarid boldly highlights the risks of "harnessing [ourselves] to the memory chariot" and of how remembrance can calcify our views, in this complex, rewarding story of a man brought low by good intentions
Taboo-breaking, anguished ... Sarid's irony-inflected narrative illuminates how the monstrous legacy of the Shoah can devour integrity, ethics and self-respect in individuals and nations alike
Intelligent and powerful... anything but complacent
A brave and brilliant short novel translated to great deadpan effect ... Sarid is an exciting writer ... The Memory Monster is clever, funny, disturbing and tragic
Unflinching ... a provocative exploration of Holocaust memory in a moment of generational shift
