Doron Rabinovici is an Israeli-Austrian writer, historian and essayist. He was born in Tel Aviv in 1961 and moved to Vienna in 1964. In 1994, Suhrkamp published his first book Papirnik, a collection of short stories most of them set in Vienna's Jewish environment. Three years later his first novel, Suche nach M. , was published which was translated into English by the US publishing company Ariadne Press. Search for M. is the portrayal of two families with Shoah survivors and their sons who live with memories they can’t express in the midst of the Austrians’ negation and denial of... their past. In 2004 his new novel, Ohnehin was published. In this novel, the main protagonist Stefan Sandtner, a young neurologist, is confronted with a patient whose sudden and bewildering illness of the mind causes his memory to fail and sets him back in the year 1945. Herbert Kerber is stuck in his past as an SS officer. The novel's apparent lightness contrasts with the fundamental issues dealt with: hidden and present past, remembering and forgetting.
