Condenses a lifetime into a story told in a single night...exhilarating for [its] creative energy
World Literature
Stunning... resembles such other memorably declamatory fictions as Camus' The Fall and Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground
Kirkus Reviews
Tim Wilkinson is a seriously good translator...I may have given the impression that this is harrowing, and it is; but it has its moments of great, consoling insight, is about far more than just the Holocaust and in its own haunting way provides comfort for the afflicted
Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
Tim Wilkinson's translation... is a fine and powerful piece of work. ... Dark, at times cryptic, and hugely energetic, this is a phenomenal piece of writing, showing the depth and breadth of the effects of war on its survivors
Nora Mahony, Irish Times
While the average reader cannot pretend truly to understand the reality of those who suffered in concentration camps, Kertész draws us one step closer
Observer
For taking us somewhere no other writer has, Kertész fully deserved his Nobel Prize
