Media Reviews
Praise for H. G. Adler's The Journey, translated by Peter Filkins

The novel's 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. - The New York Times Book Review

As important a find as Irene Nemirovsky's Suite Francaise, and as well translated into English, it is indeed, as Veza Canetti wrote to the author in 1962, ' too beautiful for words and too sad.' -Sander L. Gilman, author of Jurek Becker: A Life in Five Worlds

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. -Harold Bloom

A masterpiece of modern fiction. -- The Times Literary Supplement
[Adler] produced a quantity and a diversity of writings about the Holocaust that seem to have been equalled by no other survivor....The Journey and Panorama are very different works, each with its own distinctive style, but both are modernist masterpieces worthy of comparison to those of Kafka or Musil.
--Ruth Franklin, The New Yorker
Every so often, a book shocks you into realizing just how much effort and sheer luck was required to get it into your hands.... Panorama should have been the brilliant debut of a major German writer....It's hard to fathom why we had to wait so long. Adler, who died in London in 1988, was a gifted novelist as well as an important scholar. Under any circumstances, let alone such harsh ones, his accomplishments would be remarkable.
--The New York Times Book Review
An artful and brutal description...that nearly guarantees Panorama a place in the canon of Holocaust literature. The novel, now translated into English for the first time, is as remarkable for its literary experimentation as for its histor
