The novel tells very precisely and powerfully about instinctively executed liberation strikes as well as life and writing crises. The narrator wants to find “a grain of truth” and make it tangible. He reached his goal.” ( Sigrid Brinkmann, Deutschlandfunk Kultur)
“Erwachen is hard stuff, told powerfully, with a tendency to become breathless, sometimes hyperventilating. And also borne by the counter-tendency of calm storytelling, the development of intimate scenes: Nir Baram has an excellent feeling for the right mix of tension and relaxation, the play from near and far and for sudden tipping moments.” ( Frank Keil, juedische Allgemeine)

“Again it results in an intriguing story, that excels in the deep psychology of the main characters and the deft composition. Again, Nir Baram has written world literature.”
“In the intensity in which Baram has written the novel and in the merciless manner in which he sets up the distant family ties, he literary equals Amos Oz, who also wrote about a mother who was inaccessible to her son in his autobiographical novel “A story of love and darkness”. It explains why Oz recognized Barams literary greatness when he read “Good People.”

“The wonder kid of Israeli literature has become a man and now has the maturity to also write grippingly about matters close to him: the ill-fated friendship between two boys, the love for a girl, the death of a mother.
His deft touch, his brilliance and his sovereign outlook on Israel, Palestine and the people around him, we already knew about from his novels Good People and World Shadow.
Now he has written a great novel of compassion.”
(Review in HUMO. Jeroen Maris)
“Baram’s novels have the flair, emotional depth and wealth of ideas of the great 19th century Russian authors. A complex, deeply felt but never sentimental Bildungsroman… A wonderful tribute to people dearest to him.”
First review for “At Nights End” translation to Dutch in the Belgian daily newspaper De Tijd written by Jan Dertaelen
A.B Yehoshua : “Baram is the best writer in his generation with no comparison.”
Yehoshua (82) Israel most legendary writer today, also said in An interview in Italy: “Nir Baram is the best writer of his generation”
He Added in Israel: “I saw this a long time ago. He is not a writer of one or three or seven chords, he is a writer of so many different abilities.
“It’s simply amazing when I think about the differences in his novels, between the apocalyptic Remaker of Dreams and the lucid historical novel Good People, and then he changed everything through the different plots in World Shadow, and then in At Night’s End he wrote such a painful, personal story full of cruelty and emotion and brilliant insights about life and death and childhood.”

Am Oved publishing House has publish in Haaretz literary section a one page advisement with just some of the great Reviews “At Nights End” has received.
“Baram’s most fascinating and moving book… A Beautiful and wonderful Novel.”
(Esti Adivi Shoshan, Ha’aretz)
“A spectacular accomplishment by one of the most wonderful Hebrew writers.”
(Alona Kimchi, Israel Today)
“The combination of honesty and lies, which the novel adapts from the tragic pact between the two boys, allows the words to accrue, to turn into pictures and scenes, into fine prose.”
(Yoni Livneh, Yediot Aharonot)
“A Very good novel… Everything is described with an honesty that lacks malice, under whose feet life’s moments of beauty are never trampled… One might say : Virtuosic.”
(Eran Horowitz, Walla!)
“Baram’s best novel. A wonderful and shocking book about the inability to talk, about a reality devoid of meaning, and about literature as the only way to live.”
(Maya Sela, Kan TV network)
“An impressive, profound, accurate book that touches the nerve-endings of emotion.”
(A.B. Yehoshua, Ha’aretz)
“A beautiful and sensitive novel. A complex and delicate relationship that begins in childhood and stretches out over many years.”
(Ayelet Klein Cohen, Israel Today)
“A rare book in Israel’s literary landscape… Depicts the past in the most profound way without a shred of romanticizing.”
(Dror Mishani, Maariv)
“One of the most beautiful bildungsroman books I have read. A novel about a profound and moving friendship, about pain and about life… Rush out to read it.”
(Keren Agmon, Saloona)
“In my opinion this is Baram’s finest book.”
(Kobi Meidan, Kan TV network)
“A novel that is at times poetry and at times a cutting wind… Only on truly rare occasions, with the same commitment and hunger, as in this unique book, do we stand facing ourselves, facing life, without lying.”
(Author Leah Aini)
“Literary criticism must answer one simple question: is the book good, and why? This is worth reiterating when approaching a novel like this one, which has only just emerged on the contemporary literary scene and has already garnered universal praise. Is this book good, then? Yes, it is good, even very good. But mostly, it is readable. Its style is uniform and clear and its insights are refreshing, at times cruel, but never descend into sentimental or histrionic confessions. Baram’s honesty is not cruel, and life’s moments of beauty are not trampled beneath its feet. Nevertheless, the book does contain plenty of grief, tedium, sorrow and decay. Yes, it is a novel whose range of emotions and conditions is remarkably broad–one might even say, virtuosic.”
