“Baram’s book is a refreshing novelty in the literary landscape, both for its style and for the existential questions it raises. Baram’s audacity – in breaking the limitations of language and time and creating a remarkable novel which is written in such unique prose – is in a sense the act itself of remaking dreams.”

It is an impressive novel that combines miraculously between intellect and emotion. With sentimental bravery and intellectual integrity it encompasses life in its whole and gives the reader a great literary experience.”
