Aharon Appelfeld was a Holocaust survivor and one of Israel's most
acclaimed authors. Philip Roth, writing in the New York Times Book
Review, called Appelfeld "a displaced writer of displaced fiction,
who has made of displacement and disorientation a subject uniquely
his own."

"The sorcery of Badenheim 1939 lies in the success with which the author has concocted a narrative involving rather ordinary characters and made their experienced profoundly symbolic yet never hollow."--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times "As real as Kafka's unnamed Prague . . . imbued with a Watteau-like melancholy."--Gabriel Annan, New York Review of Books "Magical . . . gliding from a kind of romantic realism into universal allegory."--Peter Prescott, Newsweek "The writing flows seamlessly . . . a small masterpiece."--Irving Howe, New York Times Book Review
