Publisher's Summary:
This extraordinary book is the result of Saul Bellows sojourn in Israel in 1975. A personal record of his stayhis experiences and impressionsas well as a meditation, it crackles with wit and controversy on Americas relationship with this embattled country.
Using quick sketches and vignettes, Bellow captures the personal opinions, passions, and dreams of several Israelis, and he also adds to these his own reflections on being Jewish in the 20th century. The varying viewpoints of those he encounters and interviews offer a revealing look at the history and challenges of Israel, and Bellows passionate storytelling draws listeners in to share in his experience.
Critic Reviews:
"An impassioned and thoughtful book. Bellow delights in the liveliness, the gallantry of Israeli lifepeople on the edge of history, an inch from disaster, yet brimming with argument and words." (New York Times Book Review)
