To This Day, Nobel prizewinner S.Y. Agnon's last novel (first
published in Hebrew in 1952) is also his last 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 writer - a
Galician Jew who has lived in Palestine, returns to Europe on the
eve of World War I, and is now stranded in Berlin - who wanders
from rented room to rented room in a city with a severe wartime
housing shortage. On a deeper level it is a profound commentary on
exile, Zionism, divine providence, human egoism, and other
typically Agnon concerns. A truly satisfying novel to complete the
Agnon canon.
