Reviews
"""Highly important, elegantly composed, and extremely valuable. It serves as a new and exciting overview of modern Hebrew literature and the Israeli experience."""" - Yael Halevi-Wise, author of The Retrospective Imagination of A. B. Yehoshua """"Provides English speaking audiences with a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Hebrew novels and the context, themes, structure, and motifs in these texts."""" - Adia Mendelson-Maoz, author of Territories and Borders in the Shadow of the Intifada """"Ben-Dov, one of Israel's leading literary critics, illuminates a series of Hebrew novels that engage the experience of war. Israel has lived with war or the shadow of war since its inception, and the deft analysis of this book demonstrates how literature can serve as a sensitive barometer to the quandaries of a nation enmeshed in armed struggle by the conditions of its historical situation."""" - Robert Alter, University of California, Berkeley"
