At once fiercely immediate and complex in their implications, "The Shawl" and "Rosa" succeed in imagining the unimaginable: the horror of the Holocaust and the emptiness of its aftermath. They were written in 1977 but were first shared in the first 1980s in The New Yorker. Both "The Shawl" and "Rosa" received first prize in the O. Henry Reward Stories and were chosen for Best North american Short Stories. In "The Shawl," a woman named Rosa Lublin pieces a amount camp guard murder her daughter. In "Rosa," that same female appears 30 years later, "a madwoman and a scavenger" in a Miami hotel. And in both stories there's a shawl-a shawl that can support a starving child or inadvertently damage her, or even magically conjure her back again to life.
