Book Description:

Hebrew novels that deal with the experience of contemporary conflict are surprisingly rare. Through close readings of a range of novels by authors such as S. Y. Agnon, Yehuda Amichai, and Amos Oz, Nitza Ben-Dov foregrounds war as a coordinate from which Israeli novels are driven and to which they return in equal measure.
