Mirabell, as I believe you have read the book, please tell us more about why you prefer the work of some self-serving young American Frenchman (a spoilt brat who is a world away from the suave Julien Green) to the often painful works by those who really suffered in the real concentration camps, Resistance hideouts, and ghettoes.

Once again, the word "rant" is entirely inappropriate. I have opinions, which I express openly and in detail. Those who snipe at others, hiding behind three-line quickies, and offering no opinions of their own, take heed.

I did not say that I "prefer" Littell to other accounts. Nor did any of the critics I read.

An opinion that is based on what is clearly a false allegation, an allegation that is repeated in the next post's "opinion", is plain mud-slinging/libel/defamation. "rant" is a mild expression. yes, maybe it is inappropriate. we should call a spade a spade and a liar a liar.

As to my opinions, here is a (bad) essay of mine on a holocaust novel by Semprun: s*: Wovon man nicht sprechen kann (?berarbeitet)
