All Rivers Run to the Sea: Memoirs
“The letter of confirmation opened a new chapter in the book of commentaries that is my life.
Lindon didn’t like the original title: “And the World Remained Silent.” He preferred a biblical phrase, perhaps something from the Book of Jeremiah. But after discussing various suggestions, we settled on La Nuit. Lindon also wanted me to tighten the text, given to him by Mauriac, though I had already pruned and abridged it considerably. He proposed new cuts throughout, leading to significant difference...s in length among the successive versions. I had cut down the original manuscript from to the 245 of the published Yiddish edition. Lindon edited La Nuit down to 178.
Lindon was unhappy with my probably too abstract manner of introducing the subject. Nor was he enamored of two pages which sought to describe the premises and early phases of the tragedy. Testimony from survivors tends to begin with these sorts of descriptions, evoking loved ones as well as one’s hometown before the annihilation, as if breathing life into them one last time.MoreLess
