Reviews
The work of A. B. Yehoshua-one of Israel's most important writers since the 1960s-has long merited a full, book-length study in English. Yael Halevi-Wise's book has the virtue of broad scope, including commentary on a range of works from Yehoshua's earliest writing up to his latest novel, from 2018. It offers an overview of his multilayered narrative techniques as well as chapters on a variety of themes and signature moves in his oeuvre. -Naomi Sokoloff, author of Imagining the Child in Modern Jewish Fiction
