A short, clear-sighted and unsentimental masterpiece about the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict
*New Statesman*
This is a book designed to be taken out into the world... Patient,
cogent and an exquisite thinker, Oz is a rare blast of sanity and
intelligence. Read, learn and take heart
*Guardian*
A bloodless victory over fanaticism
*The Times*
Nobody has chronicled modern Israel more faithfully than Amos Oz,
and these bleak vignettes of village life in a country riddled with
anxiety find him at his unsparing best
*Sunday Telegraph*
Amos Oz is the voice of sanity coming out of confusion
*Nadine Gordimer*
Invaluable because of his wisdom and the passionate nature of his
engagement
*New Statesman*
Oz’s cool, measured prose accumulates into a sense of uncertainty
in a collection whose portentous ambience is resonant of the
unnerving, fabular fiction of Magnus Mills or Haruki Murakami
*Financial Times*
Excellent
*Evening Standard*
Invaluable because of his wisdom and the passionate nature of his
engagement and his sane effort to find the outlines of an agreement
in the Middle East
*New Statesman*
This brief but resonant book collects the novelist Amos Oz's
lectures on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict... Sometimes he is so
careful not to say anything that would offend either side that he
ends up saying very little at all. But perhaps it is that very
tact, that respect for the other, that constitutes his most
eloquent response to the fanatic
*Independent on Sunday*
