“The Art of Inventing Hope can help us remember, learn from, and perhaps argue with the world’s most revered Holocaust survivor and enlist him in living our lives.”

“Wiesel’s words through The Art of Inventing Hope might be viewed as coming from the grave. But as Reich presented him, he is living and breathing and just as relevant now as when he spoke them into Reich’s tape recorder.”

“James Foster’s narration of this audiobook is a good match of text and voice…Foster narrates with restrained passion that evokes the tone of the author. His pacing is a bit quick at times but always easy to understand. His enunciation is clear, and his overall performance makes a deep impression on the listener.”

“[A] brief but moving work…Reich does an admirable job of complementing his subject’s sage words with his own perspective without in any way detracting or distracting from it—no easy task yet one the author accomplishes with aplomb.”

“Howard Reich utilizes his considerable journalistic talents and unique perspective as a second-generation Holocaust survivor to elicit powerful insights from Elie Wiesel. This book will play an important role in making the Holocaust relevant to future generations.”

“In his struggle to understand his parents’ unimaginable and unspoken past, Howard Reich finds answers in these powerful conversations with Elie Wiesel…Reich’s own poignant narrative is as compelling as the advice Wiesel offers, and in the end it is so satisfying to see how these two brilliant minds find solace through words and through love.”

“How does one survive the horrors of the Holocaust? Wiesel helps Reich to discover that in shared memory there is hope.”
