Elie Wiesel

"[A]n insightful and often impassioned account of Elie Wiesel's themes, preoccupations and development. . . .Traces his moral and spiritual journey as it is reflected through his work and his biography." —The New York Times

"Brown, a Protestant theologian, ecumenical, versatile, and sympathetic, approaches his subject well aware of the paradoxes and impossibilities involved: the inadequacy of language to convey the experience and the impossibility of remaining silent about it; the persistence of hope and faith in defiance of reason and experience; the meaning of madness and laughter." —Choice

“Brown’s excellent concept of story… adds to his analytical understanding of what Wiesel means. His new book about Wiesel is a treasure.” — National Catholic Reporter
