To This Day Nobel prizewinner S.Y. Agnons last novel first published inHebrew in 1952 is also his last to be translated into English. It is abrilliantly accomplished and haunting work. On the surface it is a comicallyentertaining tale of a young writer a Galician Jew who has lived inPalestine returns to Europe on the eve of World War I and is now stranded inBerlin who wanders from rented room to rented room in a city with a severewartime housing shortage. On a deeper level it is a profound commentary onexile Zionism divine providence human egoism and other typically Agnonconcerns. A truly satisfying novel to complete the Agnon canon. «
