Wiesel

[Christopher Rhoades Dÿkema]

I read one of Wiesel’s books once and was all ready to be sympathetic. How
can you not be sympathetic to an account of Nazi concentration camp
experience? Also, I had met him once and he seemed a sensitive and decent
guy. But then I found the book disappointingly lightweight, in comparison
with other books of its type.

Warning: attempting to reason through Ellie Wiesel's ramblings may cause
permanent brain damage. He is just, just...too profound, too close to the
darkest heart, too damaged... He is basically the special sauce you can
throw
over any reheated hijinks, for that special ethical tang.
