In his new short-story collection Concentration, Dann enlists the techniques of fabulation to illuminate one of the defining events in human history: the Nazi Holocaust.Īuthor and critic Marleen Barr has written that “Dann is a Faulkner and a Márquez for Jews” and Concentration is a testament to that claim, for these confronting and thoughtprovoking stories are written from a perspective rarely seen in literature. Concentration is nothing less than an attempt to describe the indescribable. His novels include The Man Who Melted, The Memory Cathedral, and The Silent, among many others.
