On a July morning in  1942, Raymond Federman's childhood ended, as his parents  and two sisters were arrested by collaborationist French  police and sent to their deaths at Auschwitz, with Raymond  alone evading capture. In SHHH, his final novel, Federman  reconstructs this childhood out of fragments, speculations,  and doubtful recollections--the stories of a lost life,  enmeshed with a history that can never be forgotten.  "Federman is inarguably one of the most significant  vanguard writers of the second half of the twentieth  century and first years of the twenty-first"--Lance Olsen.},
