"Richard Zimler's Warsaw Anagrams is a gripping, heartbreaking, and beautiful thriller.".
On a 1941 visit to the Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, a new ghost tells his story to someone who still walks among the living. Stefan Rudnicki delivers the first-person narrative in a deep, versatile voice. As the ghost talks about his investigation into the death of a nephew, listeners will feel his many emotions. These are conveyed as he recounts his memories of such events as his last walk with his nephew and their receipt of fresh lemons to fight scurvy. Both gentle and powerful, Rudnicki's narration captures the terrors of a strange mystery and a frightening era of history. J.A.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine.

The Warsaw Anagrams is both a fast-moving, very readable mystery novel and a rich, serious book, in which Zimler makes us face the worst and pays tribute to those who died in the Holocaust.
Zimler's novel is well-paced, its language an intriguing mix of sentimental and hard-boiled ("My lie was a key clicking open a lock - the rusted one imprisoning me in myself"). The eponymous "anagrams" refer to the secret language of the Ghetto in which people rearrange words to put the Gestapo off the scent.

For all the members of the Zimler, Gutkind, Kalish and Rosencrantz families - my many granduncles, aunts and cousins - who perished in the ghettos and camps of Poland. And for Helena Zymler, who survived.

I've had a map of Warsaw in the soles of my feet since I was a young boy, so I made it nearly all the way home without any confusion or struggle. [Preface]
On the last Saturday of September 1940, I hired a horse-cart, a driver and two day labourers to move me from my riverside apartment into my niece's one-bedroom flat inside the city's old Jewish quarter. [Chapter 1]

I've always believed I survived because of meeting Erik and taking down his story. It's the only answer I have for why I am here and six million others are not. I'm aware that my explanation doesn't make logical sense, but we all know by now that logic is not God's strong point.

I am convinced, in fact, that that was why he returned as an ibbur.
