| Abstract | Scraps, remnants, swatches of reconstituted memory are patched together in this extraordinary collection of semiautobiographical stories by [Ida Fink]. With a few exceptions, the place is always a small rural village in Poland; sometimes called Lubianki, or N--, sometimes bisected by the river Gniezna, of "the dirty-yellow color of beer." The characters have tongue-twisting names like Wojciech, Ludeczek, Tadeusz. There's always a central square or marketplace into which Jews are being assembled by Nazi decree, and several miles away is a meadow surrounded by woods. This meadow is soggy in summer, and the snow is stained bright red in winter. The source of this wetness is always fresh human blood. |
