"Not since Albert Camus has there been such an eloquent spokesman for man." --The New York Times Book ReviewThe publication of Day restores Elie Wiesel8217;s original title to the novel initially published in English as The Accident and clearly establishes it as the powerful conclusion to the author8217;s classic trilogy of Holocaust literature, which includes his memoir Night and novel Dawn. 8220;In Night it is the 8216;I8217; who speaks,8221; writes Wiesel. 8220;In the other two, it is the 8216;I8217; who listens and questions.8221;In its opening paragraphs, a successful journalist and Holocaust survivor steps off a New York City curb and into the path of an oncoming taxi. Consequently, most of Wiesel8217;s masterful portrayal of one man8217;s exploration of the historical tragedy that befell him, his family, and his people transpires in the thoughts, daydreams, and memories of the novel8217;s narrator. Torn between choosing life or death, Day again and again returns to the guiding questions that inform Wiesel8217;s trilogy: the meaning and worth of surviving the annihilation of a race, the effects of the Holocaust upon the modern character of the Jewish people, and the loss of one8217;s religious faith in the face of mass murder and human extermination.
