Reviews

Evelyn Grill's The Antwerp Testament is the saga of a family living in the shadow of the Holocaust and poisoned by long-kept secrets. Jean M. Snook's fluid, readable translation personalizes the novel's multiple narrators as their stories of exile, dispersal, and disappointment unfold over many years and in several countries-from Germany to Belgium, England, Canada, and the United States. - David Dollenmayer, Literary Translator, Professor Emeritus, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Jean M. Snook, recipient of the prestigious Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator's Prize, has done a masterful job in rendering Evelyn Grill's 2011 novel Das Antwerpener Testament into English. In this riveting, entertaining and instructive work Evelyn Grill offers a portrait of a marriage, the decline and dissolution of a wealthy family forced into exile, the lives of twentieth century European refugees who suffer the consequences of war. Mesmerizing in particular is the translator's Afterword with its detailed explanations, insights, biographical analysis. I wholeheartedly support this very fine project. - Renate Latimer, Literary Translator, Professor Emerita, Auburn University
