Book summaryIsraeli writer Amos Oz looks back on his youth in Jerusalem in Israel's early days, remembering an intellectual milieu and a family whose life revolved around literature--an idyllic childhood for a bookish boy. The changes brought by the beginning of war in 1948 changed everything, and the suicide of Oz's mother four years later, when the boy was 12, permanently altered his life in both practical and spiritual ways. But Oz retained his love of reading and writing, and moved steadily toward his own career as the man Newsweek has referred to as "a kind of Zionist Orwell." Media reviews"A moving, emotionally charged memoir....a boon for admirers of Oz's work and contemporary Israeli literature in general." |
