4.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent and original, 18 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lover (Harvest in Translation) (Paperback)
A well done "fresco" of contradictions in the Israelian society. Each protagonist is part of the Israel complexity. A simple and a little surreal story in a difficult history. Great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Israel's Faulkner in a tour de force, 28 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lover (Harvest in Translation) (Paperback)
In a most unusual storyline, a man searches for his wife's lover in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In the meantime, early tension of the Jewish state is plumbed: Ashkenazi vs. Sephardi, man vs. woman, Arab vs. Jew. Told from constantly oscillating viewpoints in the spirit of Faulkner's *As I Lay Dying*, Yehoshua presents a hyperrealistic portrait of modern-day Israel.
