Anyone read it? I have to for an outside reading project and I have an essay due at the end of the month (Friday) I'm only a third in so I have a lot to catch up on but so far it's not bad except for the fact that Eli Wiesel can't write at all. Or maybe it's too advanced for me? I don't understand how he can switch from one persons point of view to anothers without letting us know anything. I think the narration is just very poor and I get lost when we are moving from the opening Town scene, into his fathers past, into Malkiels past. It's a fairly simplistic concept and very uneventful but I still get lost with the littlest things - maybe it fits the story of the book somehow and was done purposely.
I have one question which'll hopefully clear things up. So far Malkiel has been involved with 3 girls, I think. One is the opening town girl, who's the interpreter...what is she there for? What was her name again? Then theirs his GF sort of thing before his father got sick, name starts with a T I also don't remember. Is it Tamar? Then there's Inge who's like the girl he goes to Berlin with in spite of Tamar, right? Who's Loretta? (the maid of his fathers home?)
