| 1. |  | A Woman in Jerusalem from Harcourt Price: $19.01 Customer Review:  Yulia Rageyev was a Soviet immigrant to Jersualem, Israel. She was married and divorced mother of a troubled teenage son. Not much is known about her because she was an unidentified victim of a suicide bombing in Jersualem, her adopted hometown. A journalist and a bakery manager are on a mission to... |

| 2. | [no image] | The lover from Doubleday Customer Review: Written 30 years ago, shortly after the Yom Kippur War, this novel opens a window on a cross section of Israeli society at a point where the future of Israel seemed momentarily less uncertain and the current stand-off between Israelis and Palestinians was still far in the future. All the same, the... |

| 3. | [no image] | Mr. Mani from Doubleday Customer Review: I read this book about 8 years ago and I still remember it as a favorite. Really the literary device of telling the story backwards in a series of five one sided conversations about the Mani family works wonders in offsetting and bringing you into their lives. You want to know more about them, but... |

| 4. | [no image] | A Late Divorce from Doubleday Books Customer Review:  A short synopsis - the family patriarch returns to Israel from America to seek a divorce from his estranged, and institionalized wife who is living in an institution. Along the way in a James Joyce-like fashion, we hear from each key character in the family dynamic. The young grandson, the son, the... |

| 5. |  | Journey to the End of the Millennium from Doubleday Customer Review:  Bringing this book with me to the Middle East, I thought it would provide a nice "read-track" for my travels. Not knowing much of Israeli literature, I went with what I thought was an interesting blurb describing a story set against an exciting backdrop of the coming millennium (1000 A.D.). Now... |

| 6. |  | Open Heart from Doubleday Customer Review:  I didn't like anything about this book! The writing style is overly complicated, pretentious and often awkward, it tries so hard to be eloquent, but fails miserably. The protagonist is a winy, self-absorbed child-man who doesn't have any depth. The story of his love for "this impossible woman" is... |

| 7. | [no image] | The Continuing Silence of a Poet: The Collected Stories of A.B. Yehoshua (Library of Modern Jewish Literature) from Syracuse University Press Price: $21.95 Customer Review: In this diverse collection of stories, A.B. Yehoshua provides a variety of settings, characters and situations, from the commonplace to the bizarre. A common thread in each story is a mounting sense of dread, even if outwardly nothing of tremendous importance is occurring: a father intercepts his... |

| 8. |  | Five Seasons from Doubleday Customer Review:  AB is a hit or miss author. A Late Divorce stands as one of my favorite books of all time. AB was pitch-perfect in capturing Israel & domestic life among the less-than-perfect family. Liberated Bride was AB at his worst: slow as molasses with a tangent everywhere. I couldn't get through it. Five... |

| 9. |  | Facing the Fires: Conversations With A.B. Yehoshua (Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, and Art) from Syracuse University Press Price: $26.95 Customer Review: These interviews are with one of the finest Hebrew language writers working today. Yehoshua is an outstanding storyteller and creator of character. However as a thinker he tends to return to a few fixed ideas, ideas which in some cases are based on ignorance. One of these ideas is that the... |

The novel explores very interesting territory and unfolds its mystery well, as it intersperses stories that describe people who will continue their ways without a lot of drama with more abstract themes and and even some... |
