Rhyming Life & Death by Amos Oz
The title . . . suggests the motif that has haunted [Oz's] work almost from the beginning of his career . . . A fanciful and exploratory look.Alan Cheuse, San Fransisco Chronicle
Eight hours in the life of an author. Tel Aviv, a stifling hot night. A literary celebrity is giving a reading from his new book. And as his attention wanders, he begins to invent lives for the strangers he sees around him: here, a self-styled cultural guru, Yakir Bar-Orian Zhitomirski; there, a love-starved professional reader, Rochele Reznik; to say nothing of Ricky the waitress, the real object of his desires. Reality and fiction blend in this ingenious poignant novel from the celebrated author of A Tale of Love and Darkness.
Evocative . . . beautifully translated by Nicholas de Lange.
