The Sonderberg Case by Elie Wiesel
I picked up this book because it was by Elie Wiesel. I also thought the book would be about a murder trial. According to the book jacket, "a German expatriate named Werner Sonderberg returned alone
from a walk in the Adirondacks with an elderly uncle, whose lifeless
body was soon retrieved from the woods." But the Sonderberg case is really a point of departure for the main character, a theater critic named Yedidyah Wasserman, to reflect upon his own life and work. "Somewhere on earth, each person is acting in his own play; here or there, it makes one or another stranger weep or roar with laughter." (192 pages)
