NIGHT

The Holocaust is the defining experience of Nobel laureate, writer, lecturer and activist Elie Wiesel. NIGHT is his harrowing eye-witness account of the horrors he experienced. Guidall has an expressive, mellow and mature voice, commitment to his text, and consummate judgment and technique. His NIGHT is heartrending, tragic, compelling, beautiful. He gives us not only events but their profound effect on the sensibility, for good and ill, of a sensitive youth, as viewed in retrospect by his older self. Guidall reveals why this book and its author are so highly regarded. Y.R. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 00]
