Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Momik is the only child of two Holocaust survivors. Something in Momik pushes him into strange, perilous confrontations with the world of pain and love he is determined to avoid. By listening to a relative's special stories for and about children, Momik becomes "infected with humanity" and with the intense loving-kindness that exists alongside the horrors of his ancestry.
"...One of the most disturbing novels I've ever read...It crackles with sparks of artistic invention. It scrambles art and life together."
Edmund White, New York Times Book Review, 4/16/89
Review:"Grossman's claim to greatness as a novelist rests chiefly on the achievement of his second novel, 'See Under: Love', a daring work about the Holocaust....[It] was the first major novel by a younger writer to engage the Holocaust directly. The novel's appearance was all the remarkable because Grossman is not a child of survivors and does not belong to the so-called phenomenon of the 'Second Generation' writers and artists...whose work is compelled by the need to work through a relationship with survivor parents. Yet...the first ninety pages...are the most stunning piece of Holocaust literature I have read in any language"....With this novel Grossman earns his stripes as an adroit practitioner of postmodernism and magic realism."
Alan Mintz, Partisan Review, Fall 1996
