Description
This collection--published here in English for the first time--brings together a number of political, personal, and literary pieces by Israel's most celebrated living writer. Lively, tentative, and undogmatic, Oz's compelling literary insights make for consistently stimulating reading, while his commentary on Israel's cultural and political situation seems more relevant than ever in the light of recent developments. The essays reveal a complex and humane figure of practical political influence and lasting literary stature.
Reviews'Under This Blazing Light is a wondrous collection of essays that brilliantly reveal to us the heart and mind of one of the great writers of the time.' Chaim Potok 'The style has a vigorous rhetoric about it. A mind is at work here' The Spectator 'A fascinating collection of essays for anyone interested in Zionism, Israel or Israel's greatest writer' Geoffrey Wheatcroft, The Spectator
