RaveThe Los Angeles Review of Books\"The Angel of History is a remarkable novel, a commentary of love and death, creativity and spirituality, memory and survival ... The depths of despair Jacob enters is heartrending. If it weren’t for Alameddine’s gift with language, and his ability to present Jacob’s wounds in such a poetic manner, the novel could have been unbearable ... Structural issues aside, I forgave all when I read the ending. It’s a beauty ... an AIDS book that will hopefully re-enliven the genre.\
