“Concise and compelling”—Benjamin Balint, Wall Street Journal
“Perceptive. . . . A worthy introduction to Oz and his work.”—Publishers Weekly
“[A] slender yet perceptive book [that] attempts, among other things, to understand what compelled [Oz] to assume the role of a public intellectual. . . . A complex and considered portrait.”—Liam Hoare, Fathom
“[A] magnificent biography . . . an incredibly moving portrait of a complex and contradictory man written with great sensitivity. The book captures the many shadows of Amos Oz.”—Omer Friedlander, Jewish Renaissance
“Any new book by Robert Alter is an occasion to celebrate. His latest is especially compelling precisely because he applies his genius for making ancient texts come fully alive to the life and work of a consequential figure of our own times.”—Jonathan Kirsch, The Harlot by the Side of the Road
