In Passion Play, Jerzy Kosinski tells the story of the final days of the Polish prisoner of war camp Auschwitz. Throughout the novel, the reader is privy to the thoughts and feelings of the prisoners, as they await their inevitable fate. As the days dwindle, the prisoners are forced to participate in a macabre performance, in which they enact the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The drama of the performance is heightened by the fact that many of the actors are about to be killed. Passion Play is an intense and harrowing novel that explores the human capacity for cruelty and hope.; 8vo; 271 pages; FSA.
