Produktbeschreibung

Death of a Holy Land: Reflections in Contemporary Israeli Fiction, by Rose Levinson,is a close textual reading of eight novels by four contemporary Israeli authors. Analysis of their fiction is the basis for a critique of today's Israel, suggesting that its current malaise is linked to long-standing issues of Jewish identity and insisting on the need for a revised view which recognizes the country as a deeply conflicted modern nation state.
