I started reading this book after finishing In the Garden of Beasts. It immediately caught me and held me through his chapters about the aftermath of the war on the people who had been released. I never knew about that part, and it was disturbing to read that they were further humiliated and taken advantage of by opportunists. The author lost me once he started writing at length about his writing process and struggles. I just couldn't finish the last 20% of this book.

A memoir. Loved it except for the last chapter that speaks in length about a Holocaust survivors club.
