In autobiographical stories and essays, Eva Kollisch, rescued in childhood from the Nazis by a Kindertransport, deals with the themes of anti-Semitism, uprooting, outsiderdom, and search for community.
She unflinchingly traces the marks which persecution and exclusion leave on the mind and soul. There is also at the end a note of joy, when the author finds friendship with three childhood Austrian classmates she had once considered her “enemies.”
Eva Kollisch here again proves herself a keen eyewitness of historic events and a superb storyteller. The rare combination of factual objectivity and literary style has become her trademark.
