Between Exile and Return by Anne Golomb Hoffman
Hoffman examines the ways in which Agnon's writing produces an autobiographical myth that joins the figure of the writer to the life-history of the larger community of Israel. Moving from stories of writer and writing to the broader cultural canvas of several major novels, the author concludes with an analysis of the ways in which the fiction prompts interrogation of major cultural constructions concerning gender, the formative passage of the subject through the Oedipus complex, and the dissociation of culture from the body.-

"Anne Golomb Hoffman is a reader for the '90sShe has found a new approach to an old classic. Combining the insight of a comparatist with recent developments in psychoanalysis and literary theory, she has made a brilliant new beginning in Agnon studies." — Gershon Shaked, Hebrew University
