Review
        	
        	
        		
        			..&quot;.language of rare density, a powerful and abrupt unit of tone, a vibrant soberness at the same time lyrical and abstract...unique in French prose.&quot; --Roger Caillois, Les Nouveaux Cahiers &quot;Neither novel nor poem, neither essay nor play, The Book of Questions is a combination of all these forms, a mosaic of fragments, aphorisms, dialogues, songs, and commentaries that endlessly move around the central question of the book: how to speak what cannot be spoken&quot;--Paul Auster, New York Review of Books &quot;For anyone who is interested in the last frontiers of thought and language he is an irreplaceable writer.&quot;--Graham Martin, Times Literary Supplement &quot;first of all a response to the problem of writing after the Holocaust, of speaking the unspeakable. To Theodor Adorno&apos;s assertion that &apos;one can no longer write poetry after Auschwitz, &apos; Mr. Jab&#xE8;s offers the poet&apos;s only possible reply: &apos;One must.&apos; Mr. Jab&#xE8;s recognizes, though, that one can no longer write as before. His answer to this dilemma takes the form of a series of questions about book, word and sentence, speech and silence, God, justice and the law. Instead of one narrative voice, The Book of Questions offers a theater of voices in a labyrinth of forms. It is a work of great moral authority and urgency as well as beauty.&quot;--Michael Palmer, New York Times Book Review
