SHORTLISTED FOR THE WINGATE PRIZE 2022A HISTORY TODAY BEST HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022''A brilliant short novel that serves as a brave, sharp-toothed brief against letting the past devour the present'' The New York Times''Excels in its readiness to court controversy without surrendering nuance, and in place of moralising it offers questioning that''s as necessary as it is unsettling.'' ObserverWritten as a report to the chairman of Yad Vashem, Israel''s memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, the unnamed narrator of The Memory Monster recounts his own undoing. Hired as a promising young historian, he soon becomes a leading expert on Nazi methods of extermination, guiding tours through the death camps. The job becomes a mission, and then a dangerous obsession.With great perspicuity and the bitterest black humour, The Memory Monster confronts difficult questions that are all too relevant to Israel and the world today: How do we process human brutality? What makes us choose sides in conflict? And how do we honour the suffering of our forebears without becoming consumed by it?
