Kertesz delves into his life not only during the Second World War, when he was deported from Budapest at 14 with other Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz concentration camp, but also his experiences under so-called Goulash Communism'. Dossier K is the first and only memoir from Imre Kertesz, an author whose fiction has often been understood through his life. Unique insights into his life and work come in the form of an illuminative, engaging and, at times, combative interview by the author to himself.'
