Danilo KiÅ¡,John K. Cox
Written when he was only twenty-five, before embarking on the masterpieces that would make him an integral figure in twentieth-century letters, ,Psalm 44, shows KiÅ¡ at his most lyrical and unguarded, demonstrating that even in â€œthe place of dragons... covered with the shadow of death,â€there can still be poetry. ,Featuring characters based on actual inmates and wardersâ€”including the abominable Dr. Mengeleâ€”,Psalm 44, is a baring of many of the themes, patterns, and preoccupations KiÅ¡ would return to in future, albeit never with the same starkness or immediacy.
