SUMMARY:Lily Tuck signs copy of her new novel The Rest is Memory
DESCRIPTION:First glimpsed riding on the back of a boy’s motorcycle\, fourteen-year-old Czeslawa comes to life in this mesmerizing novel by Lily Tuck\, who imagines her upbringing in a small Polish village before her world imploded in late 1942. Stripped of her modest belongings\, shorn\, and tattooed number 26947 on arriving at Auschwitz\, Czeslawa is then photographed. Three months later\, she is dead. \nHow did this happen to an ordinary Polish citizen? This is the question that Tuck grapples with in this haunting novel\, which frames Czeslawa’s story within the epic tragedy of six million Poles who perished during the German occupation. A decade prior to writing The Rest Is Memory\, Tuck read an obituary of the photographer Wilhelm Brasse\, who took more than 40\,000 pictures of the Auschwitz prisoners. Included were three of Czeslawa Kwoka\, a Catholic girl from rural southeastern Poland. Tuck cut out the photos and kept them\, determined to learn more about Czeslawa\, but she was only able to glean the barest facts: the village she came from\, the transport she was on\, that she was accompanied by her mother and her neighbors\, her tattoo number\, and the date of her death. From this scant evidence\, Tuck’s novel becomes a remarkable kaleidoscopic feat of imagination\, something only our greatest novelists can do.
