title: The Wall: A Novel
author:  H. G. Adler 
description: <b>Praise for <i>The Wall</i></b><br /> <b><i></i></b><br />[A] majestic novel . . . Adlers prose is tidal, surge after narrative surge rushing forward and then enigmatically receding, the moment displaced by memory, and memory by introspective soliloquy.<b>Cynthia Ozick, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /><br />A towering meditation on the self and spirit. . . The writing is sonorous and so entirely devastating that the reader is compelled to pore over every word.<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b><br /> <b></b><br />Masterful and utterly unique.<b><i>The Jerusalem Post</i></b><br /> <br /> Haunting and utterly heart-wrenching . . . a literary masterpiece.<b><i>Historical Novels Review</i></b><br /> <br /> An epic novel . . . an unforgettable portrait.<b><i>The Jewish Week</i></b><br /><br />[A] pensive portrait of a man struggling to find a place in the world after enduring transformative calamity . . . an eloquent record of sufferingand perhaps of redemption as well.<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br /><br /><b>Praise for H. G. Adlers novels <i>The Journey </i>and<i> Panorama, </i>translated by Peter Filkins</b><br /> <br /> <i>The Journey</i> and <i>Panorama</i> . . . are modernist masterpieces worthy of comparison to those of Kafka or Musil.<b><i>The New Yorker</i></b><br /> <br /> <b><i>The Journey</i></b><br /> <br /> The novels streaming consciousness and verbal play invite comparison with Joyce, the individual-dwarfing scale of law and prohibition brings Kafka to mind, and there is something in the hypnotic pulse of the prose that is reminiscent of Gertrude Stein.<b><i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /> <br /> A tribute to the survival of art and a poignant teaching in the art of survival . . . I tend to shy away from Holocaust fiction, but this book helps redeem an all-but-impossible genre.<b>Harold Bloom</b><br /> <br /> <b><i>Panorama</i></b><br /> <br /> Haunting . . . as remarkable for its literary experimentation as for its historical testimony.<b><i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br /> <i></i><br /> <i>Panorama</i> should have been the brilliant debut of a major German writer. . . . Under any circumstances, let alone such harsh ones, [Adlers] accomplishments would be remarkable.<b><i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /> <br /> [A] stirring novel . . . expertly and elegantly translated by Peter Filkins.<b><i>Los Angeles Times</i></b>
