Efraim (Efrem) Bauch defines the novel “The Sun of Suicides” as the dreams of emigration. “In emigration, dreams are your youth, your homeland, your refuge. And as soon as these veils of sleep are torn, horror is revealed, a draft of loneliness from some dull and lifeless vents, reeking of a desire for suicide.” The heroes of the novel, having escaped from the “scoop” in the mid-70s, having seen the world, reveling in the air of freedom, yearn , suffer, love, compare, search for themselves. The novel continues to excite and remains relevant, as it did 20 years ago, when it instantly became a bestseller in Israel, both in Russian and translated into Hebrew. Rare copies that found their way to Russia and other countries, passed from hand to hand. Now one of the best novels by Ephraim Bauch (it was published under the “Russian” name of the author Ephraim) has become available to all connoisseurs of real prose.
