Twilight
By Elie Wiesel
Categories: Literature & Fiction
Raphael Lipkin, a professor and Holocaust survivor, begins receiving anonymous late-night calls questioning the past of Pedro, the man who once rescued him. Wiesel's novel came out in French in 1987. His search for the truth takes him to a psychiatric clinic in the Catskill Mountains whose patients believe they are figures from the Bible, and leads him to confront questions about madness and faith.
