MAKING novels out of the holocaust has proved to be a hopelessly self&#8208;contradictory enterprise for most writers. The conventional novel, with its formal coherence of beginning, middle and end, betrays this subject, which by its nature destroys coherence in our understanding of history, theology, moral choice and human character. Leslie Epstein's quietly controlled, eerily lucid novel (his third work of fiction; he is the author of &#8220;P.D. Kimerakov&#8221; and &#8220;The Steinway Quintet Plus Four&#8221;) is remarkable for choosing an aspect of the subject and developing a special narrative mode that overcome the intrinsic difficulty of coping imaginatively with genocide.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Feb. 3&#8212;The radio report heard in the courtesy car had Lon Hinkle on the wrong golf course and gave an incorrect score and an inaccurate lead. But Hinkle knew he had shot a good three:under&#8208;par 69 and he figured that despite those broadcasted errors, he must still be leading the golf tournament. His first glimpse of a scorecard confirmed that he was indeed the leader after the third round of the 38th Bing Crosby National ProAm.
