Tralievader is een novelle, opgebouwd uit veertig hoofdstukjes, waarin Carl Friedman het dagelijks leven beschrijft van een gezin met drie opgroeiende kinderen na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In het gezin duurt de oorlog voort omdat de vader, in eindeloze herhaling, móet praten over zijn kampervaringen. Kortweg: hij heeft kamp. De kinderen doen hun best om met hun vader mee te leven, maar hij behandelt hen als vreemden, die hem nooit zullen begrijpen. Hierop reageren zij verschillend. In dit gezin, verscheurd zowel door het verleden als door het heden, is de moeder een rots in de branding. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The legacy of the Holocaust is passed on to a young girl through her father's stories in this celebrated novel. "When I was in the camp," her father's stories always begin. Although she lives in the everyday world of school and friends, a daughter is compelled by love to enter her father's harrowing world of hunger, death, and survival in the concentration camp. In a moving Afterword, the author sets the historical context for the novel and speaks directly about her own father, upon whom the novel is based. "An extraordinary novel written with passion, lucidity, and restraint" (The Forward). No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

'Tralievader' is told by the child of a man who has survived a German camp. He doesn't say it like this, he says he's had 'camp'. The way he keeps talking about the camp and his experiences influences everything and everyone around him. Slowly his children realize that the way they are raised and the stories they hear from their father are not normal. Because of this his children have their own traumatic experiences even though they were born after the end of the war.
This short novel (novella?) manages to pack a punch despite being so short. It conveys the impact of war trauma's on not just the victims themselves, but also on following generations. Because it is told from the point of view of one of the kids, who knows no better, it is even more powerful. Four out of five stars. ( )
