    Abstract: "The Pulitzer finalist delivers his best work yet--a brilliant, streamlined comic novel, reminiscent of early Philip Roth and of his own most masterful stories, about a son's failure to say Kaddish for his father Larry is an atheist in a family of orthodox Memphis Jews. When his father dies, it is his responsibility as the surviving son to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, every day for eleven months. To the horror and dismay of his mother and sisters, Larry refuses--thus imperiling the fate of his father's soul. To appease them, and in penance for failing to mourn his father correctly, he hatches an ingenious if cynical plan, hiring a stranger through a website called Kaddish.com to recite the daily prayer and shepherd his father's soul safely to rest. This is Nathan Englander's freshest and funniest work to date--a satire that touches, lightly and with unforgettable humor, on the conflict between religious and secular worlds, and the hypocrisies that run through both. A novel about atonement; about spiritual redemption; and about the soul-sickening temptations of the internet, which, like God, is everywhere"--

    Abstract: "The author of the sensational national best seller For the Relief of Unbearable Urges returns with a commanding new collection of short stories: What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank establishes Nathan Englander beyond all doubt as the heir to Roth, Malamud, and Babel. A tour de force. The title story, inspired by Carver's masterpiece, is a comic classic, a provocative portrait of two marriages in which the holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game. "Camp Sundown" is an outlandishly dark story of vigilante justice undertaken by a troop of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave who recognize a fellow vacationer as a former Nazi guard. "Free Fruit for Young Widows" is a small, sharp study in evil. "Sister Hills" chronicles the history of the Israeli settlements from the eve of the Yom Kippur war through the present, a political story constructed around the tale of two mothers who strike a terrible bargain to save a child. A great leap forward from one of our most audacious and important writers, and a sensational literary event"--

    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.
