The Efraim of the title is journalist George Efraim, who travels to his native Berlin to investigate the disappearance of a woman during World War II. His search for her eventually becomes a journey through his own past. According to LJ's reviewer, ``the central characters are excellently portrayed, and there is an admirable intelligence working throughout'' (LJ 11/15/70).Charles Markmann
"An impressively convincing synthesis of the simultaneous levels of consciousness...brought into that inter-relation of elements that in every successful work of art strikes one as inevitable." -- The NationJohn Simon
"We find this hall of mirrors construction in Uwe Johnson, Peter Handke and others. But Anders manipulates it with an ease and unpretentiousness that is subjectively disorienting, until the reader himself is dissolved into that bittersweet side, in equal measures humorous and dispairing, that is a strange brook." -- New York Times Book ReviewBook Details
