『Fateless』

『Fateless』 (Imre Kertesz) won Nobel Prize in Literature in October 2002.

If "happiness" in such circumstance still shocks, that was the author's intention. 

"I took the word out of its everyday context and made it seem scandalous," Mr. Kertesz said.

"It was an act of rebellion against the role of victim which society had assigned me. It was a way of assuming responsibility, of defining my own fate."

"They fall in love with the boy and realize that his fate could be their fate: just taken off a bus. It could happen to anyone anywhere in the world today."
