Twilight: A Novel | Elie Wiesel
10 posts | 13 read | 18 to read
Raphael Lipkin is a man obsessed. He hears voices. He talks to ghosts. He is spending the summer at the Mountain Clinic, a psychiatric hospital in upstate New Yorknot as a patient, but as a visiting professional with a secret, personal quest. A professor of literature and a Holocaust survivor, Raphael, having rebuilt his life since the war, sees it on the verge of coming apart once more. He longs to talk to Pedro, the man who rescued him as a fifteen-year-old orphan from postwar Poland and brought him to Paris, becoming his friend, mentor, hero, and savior. But Pedro disappeared inside the prisons of Stalins Russia shortly after the war. Where is Pedro now, and how can Raphael discern what is true and what is false without him? A mysterious nighttime caller directs Raphaels search to the Mountain Clinic, a unique asylum for patients whose delusions spring from the Bible. Amid patients calling themselves Adam, Cain, Abraham, Joseph, Jeremiah, and God, Raphael searches for Pedros truth and the meaning of his own survival in a novel that penetrated the mysteries of good, evil, and madness.

Pickpick

As I expected from the author of Night, this was harrowing and excellent. More experimental than Night for sure, this slipped about through time and showed mental illness, religion, hope and lack of hope colliding with the precursors and aftermath of the holocaust. It wasn‘t a pleasant or easy read in any way but I‘m glad I tackled it.

Hi everyone! Sorry to take the nominations post down. Here it is back! We just want to remind everyone it MUST be read reasonably within a month so we've instituted a 400 pg max on a book (with some exceptions for prose). The books nominated in the past post will be commented below that passed.

litsybookclub Also please use GoodReads for correct page counts or Amazon. Litsy doesn't have that correct in their database yet. Here are the ALREADY nominated books, your seconds and thirds were counted already :) 8y

steph_hashes_tags Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but 8y
LibrarianRyan @steverogers that's okay. I just picked up a copy. My friends kept telling me it was a short quick read. I should have guessed. I have an ARC of Gimmina and it is quite large. But if you ever look at the pages they are not full text every page. Lots of graphic. Probably why I'm told it's quick. 8y
litsybookclub @LibrarianRyan do you think it could be finished easily within a month? That's our main concern! 8y
LibrarianRyan @Litsybookclub I'll read it and let you know. The audiobook is 4 hours shorter than RPO. I'll keep it in mind for later. 8y
litsybookclub @Litsybookclub are you sure? If the audiobook is shorter we have no problem adding it! 8y
bellasocks You-Carolyn Kepnes 8y
Bookzombie I vote for 8y

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
