Blooms of Darkness

'Aharon Appelfeld is fiction's foremost chronicler of the Holocaust. The stories he tells, as here in Blooms of Darkness, are small, intimate, and quietly narrated and yet are transfused into searing works of art by Appelfeld's profound understanding of loss, pain, cruelty, and grief.' - Philip Roth

,,Aharon Appelfeld este cel mai important cronicar al Holocaustului in fictiune. Povestile pe care le spune, ca aici in Inflorirea intunericului, sunt mici, intime si narate discret, dar sunt transpuse in opere de arta sfasietoare prin intelegerea profunda a lui Appelfeld asupra pierderii, durerii, cruzimii si a durerii." - Philip Roth
