To This Day
by S.Y. Agnon
To This Day is Nobel prizewinner S.Y. Agnon’s
last novel to be translated into English. It is a brilliantly accomplished and
haunting work. On the surface it is a comically entertaining tale of a young

egoism, and other typically Agnonian concerns...

Farther Along
by Donald Harington
He wants to get away from it all. Despite a satisfying career as chief curator

tribe of Indians known as Bluff-dwellers, he takes up residence in the

himself… Publication date: February 2009 More Info... |  |
