At Night's End

An exciting new English translation of Israel’s #1 bestselling literary novelist Nir Baram

An exciting new English translation of Israel's #1 bestselling literary novelist Nir Baram.

A writer wakes up in a hotel room in an unfamiliar city. His clothes are muddy; he doesn’t know how long he’s been lying in bed. Yonatan came to participate in a literary festival that is long over—why is he still here? When he attempts to reconstruct his lost days, he learns that he told people at the festival that his best friend had died.

Except his friend is still alive.

Yonatan stays on in Mexico City, reluctant to return to his wife and infant son back home in Tel Aviv. Convinced that his closest friend, Yoel, is going to die, he struggles to preserve his sanity. But why is he so convinced? Does the answer lie in their childhood in Jerusalem, when it was them against the world?

At Night's End is a compassionate and personal novel about an extraordinary friendship between two boys who become men haunted by a shared past. It is also a universal story of family and love, and of the power of memory and imagination.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Many reviews highlight Nir Baram as a standout figure in Israeli literature. His book is praised for its emotional depth, intricate narrative, and the way it artfully navigates complex themes like life, death, and the transitions of different life stages. It's compared to the works of great 19th-century Russian authors for its complexity and emotion, and it's celebrated for its portrayal of deep friendships and the tension between truth and lies. The book's depiction of the past is noted as profound and unromanticised.
