Review
Soul of Wood succeeds through the sheer wickedly comic telling; for all the surrealist gags, frenetic symbolism and laughs, the horror strikes one full in the face. (Irish Times)
Reading Lind can feel a bit like chasing the dissolving threads of a dream (or nightmare). But at its best his prose can be devestatingly illuminating... Jakov Lind had a rare ability to shake the foundations of ethical constructions. And he could make us laugh. The combination is irresistible. (Jewish Chronicle)
About the Author
Jakov Lind (1927-2007) was born in Vienna. He fled Austria when he was eleven, finding temporary refuge in Holland, and then surviving inside Nazi Germany by assuming a Dutch identity. After a literary apprenticeship in Israel, he moved to London, where he wrote, in German, the short stories and novels on which his stature as a major European writer is based: Soul of Wood, Landscape in Concrete, and Ergo.
