The Wherewithal cover

This astonishing novel in verse tells the story of a haunted young man hiding from the Vietnam War in the basement of a San Francisco building and translating his mother’s diaries. The diaries concern the Jedwabne massacre that took place in Poland in 1941. Wildly inventive, dark, beautiful and unrelenting, The Wherewithal is a meditation on the nature of evil and the destruction of war.

"The Wherewithal is a horrifying and eloquent book." -- The Independent
"Schultz’s book is full of magnificent language and trenchant philosophical juxtapositions..." -- The Jewish Chronicle
"One of the strongest literary renditions of the Shoah I know." -- Saul Friedlander, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Years of Extermination
