Gertrude
‘Gertrude’ is a sexually explicit story about the consequence of the Second World War on a Jewish girl and her friends. Unlike in fairy tales there is no ball, there are weddings, we are not invited. There are deaths, they are merely brief episodes that create digressions that are more fully analysed.
