Reviews
‘One of the most intriguing writers in Israeli literature today.’ * Haaretz * ‘This book will crawl under your skin and will not let go.' * NRC * ‘Skilfully, Baram plunges into the world in between: between life and death, childhood, adolescence and adulthood, between being a child and being a father, love and hate, day and night, intoxication and sobriety.’ * Aargauer Zeitung * ‘Baram is the best writer in his generation with no comparison.’ * A. B. Yehoshua * ‘Baram’s novels have the flair, emotional depth and wealth of ideas of the great 19th-century Russian authors. A complex, deeply felt but never sentimental bildungsroman…A wonderful tribute to people dearest to him.' * De Tijd * ‘A spectacular accomplishment by one of the most wonderful Hebrew writers.’ * Israel Today * ‘The combination of honesty and lies, which the novel adapts from the tragic pact between the two boys, allows the words to accrue, to turn into pictures and scenes, into fine prose.’ * Yedioth Ahronoth * ‘Virtuosic.’ * Walla! * ‘A rare book in Israel’s literary landscape…Depicts the past in the most profound way without a shred of romanticising.’ * Maariv * ‘One of the most beautiful bildungsroman books I have read. A novel about a profound and moving friendship, about pain and about life…Rush out to read it.’ * Saloona *
