“I’d been thinking about writing a book on genocide for some time, but the project really kicked off about a year-and-a-half ago, around the time my wife told me she was pregnant with our second child.
Naturally, I thought about the Holocaust. It wasn’t a morbid thought, or at least it didn’t seem so to me.
The thought was this: “At least our first son will have someone to go to the concentration camps with.”
At Tablet, Shalom Auslander, discusses his latest project: a self-described “comic novel about genocide.” (!)
He will be making a case for himself through ongoing installments at Tablet. Installments that will certainly be as provocative and unsettling and perhaps even hilarious as the very project he intends to complete.
