Lyrical yet brutally descriptive... The real suspense here is in the tension between the absolutely trivial and the absolutely terriblea tension powerful enough to sustain the entirety of this important memoir."<br /><b>Jewish Book Council</b><br /><br /><i>33 Days</i>, admirably translated by Austin Denis Johnston, is a beautifully written portrait not just of the shock of sudden occupation, but an eloquent essay on the meaning of how to remain human, even in the face of such confusing adversity."<br /><b><i>Times Literary Supplement</i> (UK)</b><br /><br />Riveting...masterful... Werths short book  fast-paced, engaging and philosophical all at once  offers an astonishingly honest and perceptive expression of life under occupation."<br /><b><i>PopMatters</i>, 9 out of 10 stars</b><br /><br />With its gentle prose, the narrators constant questioning and occasional humour, <i>33 Days</i> is a valuable record of the those fleeing Paris and a subtle yet fierce inquiry as to what it means to be occupied."<br /><i><b>3:AM Magazine</b></i><br /><br />With nothing to steady oneself in this moment of complete upheaval, at least the reader has Werths intellectual honesty, precision of observation, and sensitivity to particularity This is the skill of a writer...that can, in unusual circumstances, turn an author into a necessary interpreter of an increasingly unfathomable world."<br /><b><i>Cleaver</i></b><br /><br />Extraordinary... An invaluable document of history as well as a riveting literary narrative."<br /><b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b>
