title: Second Hand Smoke: A Novel
author:  Thane Rosenbaum 
description: It is obvious from practically the first page of <i>Second Hand Smoke</i> that Thane Rosenbaum has not written a typical Holocaust novel. Consider, for example, the name of his protagonist: Duncan Katz. "What kind of a name is that for a Jewish boy?" an old man attending Duncan's circumcision ceremony in post-World War II Miami demands. "One thing is for sure: the boy's name isn't a mistake. These people are trying to tell us something."
