Tuesday Teasers
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This wasn't particularly random; I had a specific essay in the book and a specific section I wanted to quote:

What we suffered has no place within language: it is somewhere beyond life and history. The ghetto and the sealed cars, the children hurled alive into the flames, the dumb old men with slit throats, the mothers with crazed eyes, the sons powerless to relieve their fathers' agony: a "normal" person cannot take in so much horror.

"To Believe or Not to Believe" in From the Kingdom of Memory : Reminiscences, by Elie Wiesel

If you consider this a "spoiler," then welcome to one of the pre-eminent writers of our era!
