Creative by ^ West Communications NATION Friday, October 1 1, 2002 the battalion Nobel winner lauded for holocaust writing AP — After Auschwitz, to write poetry is barbaric, a philosopher once concluded. A long line of poets and novelists have thought otherwise, and on Thursday, the Nobel Prize in lit erature went to Imre Kertesz, a Hungarian novelist and Auschwitz survivor. Honoring the 72-year-old Budapest Jew for his uncom mon, single-minded gift for say ing the unsayable, the Swedish Academy singled out his 1975 debut novel, “Sorstalansag” (“Fateless”), about a young man who is taken to a concen tration camp but conforms and survives. Kertesz was deported in 1944 to Auschwitz in Nazi- occupied Poland, then to the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, where he was liberated in 1945. Of the 6 mil lion Jews killed in the Holocaust, some 6(K),()0() were Hungarian. Kertesz is the first Hungarian to win the award, worth about $1 million. “My immediate reaction is one of great joy. It means very much to me,” he told The Associated Press in Berlin, where he is on a teaching scholarship. “There is no awareness of the Holocaust in Hungary. People have not faced up to the Holocaust. I hope that in the light of this recognition, they will face up to it more than until now,” he added. Since the end of World War II, writers and scholars have debated how to make art out of the Holocaust and whether they even can and should. “Tote poetry after Auschwitz is fo. baric,'' the philosopherTheo* Adorno wrote in 1949, Kertesz was honored fa writing “that upholds the b,. experience of the indivii' against the barbaric arbitrarines of history,” in the citation by fa Swedish Academy. Wiesel, an Auschwitz.., vivor who won the NobelPe® Prize in 1986, applauded fa award. "He is a great writer,”Wiesel said. “His style and fa approach are of such highqui fy that he deserved to be the highest prize in literature.' “Fateless” and “Kaddisbfa a Child Not Bom," his i novels available in English, part of a trilogy on Holoc* themes. <W SAssemBCy of god O^pn-^enominationol Bethel Temple Assembly of God 2608 Villa Maria, Bryan 776-4835 Sunday Worship 10:15 Sunday School 9:00 www.betheltemplebcs.com dhurch Arising G»*' ri "8 Gj ' ^ Meeting Sundays 10:30 a.m. ^ BrazoN (Center 4 )•> ^ ('all lor information (Baptist communityO IURCH Fellowship Free Will Baptist Church College & Career Class You are invited to a Bible Study especially for students.
