Acerca de esta escucha

Written as a report to the chairman of Yad Vashem, Israel's memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, our unnamed narrator recounts his own undoing. Hired as a promising young historian, he soon becomes a leading expert on Nazi methods of extermination at concentration camps in Poland during World War II and guides tours through the sites for students and visiting dignitaries. He hungrily devours every detail of life and death in the camps and takes pride in being able to recreate for his audience the excruciating last moments of the victims' lives.

The job becomes a mission, and then an obsession. Spending so much time immersed in death, his connections with the living begin to deteriorate. He resents the students lost in their iPhones, singing sentimental songs, not expressing sufficient outrage at the genocide committed by the Nazis. In fact, he even begins to detect, in the students as well as himself, a hint of admiration for the murderers - their efficiency, audacity, and determination.

With the perspicuity of Kafka's The Trial and the obsessions of Delillo's White Noise, The Memory Monster confronts difficult questions that are all too relevant to Israel and the world today: How do we process human brutality? What makes us choose sides in conflict? And how do we honor the memory of horror without becoming consumed by it?

compelling but unsettling

The story of a Holocaust historian working for Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust museum. His deeper and deeper dive into the details of the Nazi killing fields of Poland become his emotional undoing. The writer is very good and the story is not hard to stick with, but there is a lot to think about. Some of it I understood as I listened, some of it I know I will find myself tussling with in odd future moments. You will also get quite a detailed education about the Holocaust, and like the character in the novel, the film director's assistant, you may find yourself wishing you could hang back because it's painful.
