PS: The Listener has been selected as one of the best books of 2011, so far, by the School Library Journal (New York).
A couple of reviews of The Listener:
“A dense and fiercely intelligent work that asks important questions about art, history, and the responsibility of the individual, all in a lyrical and stirring tone.” — Publishers Weekly (New York)
“This demands to be added to any shelf on which Anne Frank’s Diary, as well as Maus or Miriam Katin’s We Are on Our Own are available.” — School Library Journal (New York)
