In the book supplement of the leading Belgium newspaper De Standraad World Shadow receive a 5 stars review (the highest possible) from Maria Vlaar also in the supplement a substantial interview with Nir Baram:
“Baram looks at the world from all angles, which means his novels can be read in several ways. He is slippery in that way, which reminds me of Hugo Claus. A great personality who shows many different facets of the world to his readers, who writes openly about everything that’s on his mind, but who, ultimately, doesn’t show everything.”
“The revolution that the strike leaders fight for is one of biblical proportions. In the same way in which in some science fiction movies ‘the civilized world’ is flooded by water or taken by aliens -the city of London burns in Wereldschaduw. Everything comes to an end is what Baram seems to say in this stunnig novel.”
