Tell Me Another Morning
Tell Me Another Morning by Zdena BergerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This astonishingly beautiful book is an "autobiographical novel" based on Zdena Berger's four years of surviving multiple concentration camps, from the age of 16 to 20. Somehow she manages to inspire hope in readers; with directness and honesty, she shares her harrowing experiences in heart-rending lyricism. First published in 1961, at the same time as the memoir NIGHT by Elie Wiesel, this book quietly disappeared for many decades, until it was resurrected by Paris Press.
Read it. Zdena Berger's story can change your life forever.

Dear Readers,
I hope you are finding your way to my new book SURVIVOR CAFE: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory. As I mention in my author's note in the opening pages, this is a book I've been writing my whole life. And although it's my first book of nonfiction, when you read and absorb it, you'll see how many of the themes and images have haunted my novels and poems and essays....
I'm inserting here a number of links to interviews and reviews and excerpts. May these help to deepen and inspire more conversation.
