About This Novel
Nobel Prize winner Kertesz Imlay's "Thanks to Auschwitz" musings across the ages. "The Boatman's Diary" was published in 1992. It is a diary written by Kertés Imlay, the 2002 Nobel Prize winner for literature, from 1961 to 1991. This diary, which lasted for thirty years, records not daily trivial matters, but daily thoughts. It is a philosophical expression and literary record of his daily, almost paranoid thinking. It is a dialogue between him and Pascal, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kafka, Camus, Beckett, and Bernhard. Like a calm and rational scientist, Kertesz recorded in detail the fragments of thoughts scattered in daily life with objective eyes, frankly explained his literary concepts and attempts, and organically combined life description with artistic expression.
