reception

The novel Löwenwecken was also received positively by critics in Germany:

"'Lions Wake Up' is a lasting disturbance, an existentialist novel that prompts the reader to question his own position again and again - how would I act?"

- Carsten Hueck : Deutschlandfunk Kultur

“Ayelet Gundar-Goshen's novel is atmospheric, visually powerful and profound. In the dusty desert landscape the minds get excited, the characters are multi-layered and the boundaries between good and bad are blurred. A brilliant novel with a lot of linguistic wit, which increases to a tour de force through human abysses. "
