Aharon Appelfeld (not Applefeld) is very much alive (to 120!). His
last novel was published in English translation three months ago (All
Whom I Have Loved, Schocken, 2007,
http://www.amazon.com/All-Whom-Have-Loved-Novel/dp/0805241779). The
events in the novel take place in Czernowitz of 1938. The storyline
is largely autobiographical, the nine-year-old protagonist, Paul
Rosenfeld, has a lot in common with the author.

Appelfeld's previous novel, published last year (The Story of a Life,
http://www.amazon.com/Story-Life-Aharon-Appelfeld/dp/0805211268) is
autobiographical as well.
