"Hoffmann writes in a language of miracles."

American Book Review

"A reason to celebrate...Hoffmann shows himself to be an artist of the profoundly fantastic."

Hadassah Magazine

"A writer of international importance...Hoffmann refracts Jewish popular lore and folk wisdom through a postmodernist prism, brightening his prose with snatches of verse, songs, diary excerpts, letters, ominous dreams, lush erotic passages and Yiddish sayings."

Publishers Weekly

"A wise and delicate book."

Yediot Aharonot

"Part novel, part memoir, part neither, Curriculum Vitae is a frolicking dive into the self of the writer."

Phillip Witte - Three Percent

"These bits and pieces of polished writing—like small, well-crafted gems—form a mosaic and give one a full portrait."

Robert Leiter - Jewish Exponent
