Review
"Appelfeld is an astonishingly subtle and sensitive writer whose work refines itself and grows purer over the years. Almost every sentence in The Iron Tracks sparkles with gemlike refraction. . . . Some believe this novel about a Holocaust survivor who travels the trains of south-central Europe in search of a Nazi tormentor is one of the finest books ever written about the pain and memory of war."
--Chicago Tribune (a Fiction and Nonfiction Favorite for 1998)
--Washington Post "Aharon Appelfeld's controlled fiction compresses large themes into small spaces. . . . He is a worthy successor to Kafka."
--Jonathan Rosen, New York Times Book Review
