"Chaim Grade ... brilliant poet and novelist, a leading
member of that still sprightly international fraternity
of Yiddish writers."
-New York Times
"One of the great- if not the greatest-of living
Yiddish novelists. Surely he is the most authentic ...
this singularly Jewish novel becomes universal
because of its very singularity."
-ELIE WIESEL, New York Times Book Review
"Chaim Grade is as powerful a writer as Isaac Bashevis
Singer and Elie Wiesel. .. a master Yiddish writer."
-Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin
