Sol Nazerman ist der Pfandleiher von Spanish Harlem. Sein Laden ist ein Umschlagplatz für verlorene Träume und verpfuschte Leben. Abends fährt er zurück nach Mount Vernon, wo er zusammen mit seiner Schwester, ihrem Mann und ihren Kindern lebt, die er mit den Erträgen seines Geschäfts unterstützt.§Sol ist dem Holocaust entkommen - anders als seine Frau und Kinder. Er musste miterleben, wie sie im Konzentrationslager ermordet wurden. Emotional abgestumpft beobachtet er die Verzweiflung, die ihn umgibt, und führt seine Pfandleihe mit der Härte und Verschlossenheit eines Gangsters. Erst ein dramatischer Einbruch in die Gleichförmigkeit seiner Tage löst seine Erstarrung und lässt ihn vielleicht einen ersten Schritt zurück ins Leben machen. Edward Lewis Wallants wichtigstes Buch ist eines der bewegendsten Werke der modernen Literatur. For most of us, remembering the Holocaust requires effort; we listen to stories, watch films, read histories. But the people who came to be called 'survivors' could not avoid their memories. Sol Nazerman, protagonist of Edward Lewis Wallant's 'The Pawnbroker', is one such sufferer.§At 45, Nazerman, who survived Bergen-Belsen although his wife and children did not, runs a Harlem pawnshop. But the operation is only a front for a gangster who pays Nazerman a comfortable salary for his services. Nazerman's dreams are haunted by visions of his past tortures.§(Dramatizations of these scenes in Sidney Lumet's 1964 film version are famous for being the first time the extermination camps were depicted in a Hollywood movie.) Remarkable for its attempts to dramatize the aftereffects of the Holocaust, 'The Pawnbroker' is likewise valuable as an exploration of the fraught relationships between Jews and other American minority groups. That this novel, a National Book Award finalist, manages to be both funny and weighty, makes it all the more tragic that its talented author died, at age 36, the year after its publication. The book sold more than 500,000 copies soon after it was published.
