“Youval Shimoni’s A Room is a big book. The 597 pages of Michael Sharp’s translation from the Hebrew into English weighs a little under two pounds. And yet it feels like it should be bigger, should weigh more: the novel it contains is designed to test the limits of representation, to underline the absurdity of any attempt in any form of art to capture experience. As with all great works of literature, it is difficult to believe that so much can be contained by so relatively small a vessel.”
