Panorama

“The Journey and Panorama … are modernist masterpieces worthy of comparison to those of Kafka or Musil.”—The New Yorker “Haunting … as remarkable for its literary experimentation as for its historical testimony.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Panorama should have been the brilliant debut of a major German writer… . It’s hard to fathom why we had to wait so long… . Under any circumstances, let alone such harsh ones, his accomplishments would be remarkable.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editor’s Choice) “Astonishing … Works such as Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Primo Levi’s If This Is a Man and H. G. Adler’s … Panorama draw the strength of their narrative from direct memory.”—Simon Schama, Financial Times “[A] stirring novel … expertly and elegantly translated by Peter Filkins.”—Los Angeles Times
