The first Hungarian to win the Nobel in Literature, Imre Kertész was a survivor of the Holocaust. His writings mainly reflect on this experience. Later on he became a journalist and translator.
His popular novel of 1975, Fatelessness (Sorstalanság), describes the experience of 15-year-old György Köves in the concentration camps of Auschwitz,. In 1990 he released a similar themed novel - Kaddish for an Unborn Child.
The Failure
The story is about the inability of a writer to write and continue his art. But he is unable to do so. Call it writer's block or anything else, his helplessness is described in the story.
This inability to write is also a search, the boundary thought to be clear between reality and the created world is blurred.
