    Abstract: Kaddisch Poznan, der auf dem Friedhof seiner Gemeinde dafür sorgt, dass die Namen übel beleumundeter Verwandter von Grabsteinen getilgt werden, verliert seinen Sohn, der eines Tages spurlos verschwindet; zur Zeit der Militärdiktatur spielender Roman mit sarkastischem Humor. (Dietmar Adam)
    Abstract: Kaddisch Poznan geht einem sonderbaren Gewerbe nach. Vorzugsweise nachts, auf dem jüdischen Friedhof von Buenos Aires, sorgt er mit Hammer und Meißel dafür, dass angesehene Mitglieder der Gemeinde nicht mehr an ihre weniger gut beleumundete verstorbene Verwandtschaft erinnert werden. Viel Geld ist damit nicht zu verdienen, ein um seine Ehre besorgter, aber insolventer Mediziner bezahlt auch schon mal mit einer Nasenoperation. So ist es seine bei einer Versicherung arbeitende Ehefrau Lilian, die das Familieneinkommen bestreitet. Sein Sohn Pato straft ihn und seine fragwürdigen Geschäfte mit Verachtung. Eines Tages (die Handlung spielt während der Militärdiktatur in den 1970er-Jahren) verschwindet der junge Student spurlos. Wie viele andere Eltern auch begeben sich Kaddisch und Lilian auf eine verzweifelte Suche, die sie immer wieder in das "Ministerium für besondere Fälle" führt. Nach seiner Erzählungssammlung "Zur Linderung unerträglichen Verlangens" (BA 11/99) legt der amerikanische Autor hier einen schrägen Debütroman mit sarkastischem Witz vor.
