Night by Elie Wiesel

After sitting on my bookshelf for years I finally read this little memoir of a teenager's year in concentration camps. I love memoirs and this one didn't break any ground in 2012 (it may have when published) I did find some of the language beautiful. "never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust." I do however have a point of. Intention, something that bothers me a lot in writing: ignorant homophobia. One line says "there was considerable traffic in children among homosexuals [at the concentration camp]." really? Does he mean pedophile instead of homosexual? Possibly and possibly not. I keep an open mind yet would love to know. At any rate, I enjoyed the boom and am glad to pass it on.
