The wall : a novel / H.G. Adler ; translated from the German by Peter Filkins. by Adler, H. G. Random House, 2014. Call #: FICTION ADL Subjects Holocaust survivors -- Fiction.   Exiles -- Fiction.   Psychic trauma -- Fiction.   Survivors' guilt -- Fiction.   Self-realization -- Fiction.   Prague (Czech Republic) -- Fiction.   London (England) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780812993066 Uniform title:  Unsichtbare wand. English English Description:  xix, 630 p. ; 25 cm. Notes:  "This work was originally published in Germany as Die unsichtbare wand by Paul Zsolnay Verlag in 1989. Copyright (c) 1989 by Paul Zsolnay Verlag, Vienna"--T.p. verso. Translated from the German. Summary:  "Drawing upon Adler's own experiences in the Holocaust and his postwar life, The Wall, like the other works in the trilogy, nonetheless avoids detailed historical specifics. The novel tells the story of Arthur Landau, survivor of a wartime atrocity, a man struggling with his nightmares and his memories of the past as he strives to forge a new life for himself. Haunted by the death of his wife, Franziska, he returns to the city of his youth and receives confirmation of his parents' fates, then crosses the border and leaves his homeland for good. Embarking on a life of exile, he continues searching for his place within the world. He attempts to publish his study of the victims of the war, yet he is treated with curiosity, competitiveness, and contempt by fellow intellectuals who escaped the conflict unscathed. Afflicted with survivor's guilt, Arthur tries to leave behind the horrors of the past and find a foothold in the present. Ultimately, it is the love of his second wife, Johanna, and his two children that allows him to reaffirm his humanity while remembering all he's left behind. The Wall is a magnificent epic of survival and redemption, powerfully told through stream of consciousness and suffused with daydream, fantasy, memory, nightmare, and pure imagination. More than a portrait of a Holocaust survivor's journey, it is a universal novel about recovering from the traumas of the past and finding a way to live again."--Goodreads.
