Su questo libro

Recensione:

The New York Times Book Review This modern story is perfection itself. It is the most effective indictment of Nazism to apper in fiction.

Kurt Vennegut A tale already known and profoundly appreciated by members of my generation. It is to our part in World War II what Uncle Tom's Cabin was to the Civil War.

Variety A marvel of a tale, with an "Oh, wow" ending.

Publisher's Weekly Address Unknown serves not only as a reminder of Nazi horrors but as a cautionary tle in light of current racial, ethnic, and nationalistic intolerance.

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) The story is akin to the sly plot twists of O. Henry. Believe me, Address Unknown will leave you breathless with admiration.

L'autore:

Kathrine Kressmann Taylor (1903-1996) was an undiscovered writer before the 1938 publication of Address Unknown. She won her first writing award at age eleven, and with the prize money bought herself a set of The Book of Knowledge. Taylor went on to write three books and more than a dozen short stories, one of which was included in The Best American Short Stories of 1956. For nineteen years, she was a professor of creative writing and journalism at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, where she was the first woman to earn tenure.
