About this title

Review:

"A singular literary creation, worth pondering for generations to come." --"The Jerusalem Report"
" The text is a quarrel as much as a prayer, an assertion of faith and a simultaneous refusal to accept the traditional notion that God hides his face in response to human sin." --"The New York Times"
"Yosl Rakover is one of those runaway masterpieces whose energy makes them explode off the page." --"Le Nouvel Observateur" (France)
"Remarkable . . . a grim but beautiful story." --"Los Angeles Times"
