"When my collection Wandering Stars: An Anthology of Jewish Fantasy and Science Fictionwas published in 1974,[It] became a classic. And now...we have the first ever anthology in the entire universe of Israeli fantasy and science fiction:Zion's Fiction...Go forth and read...and may you find Zion's Fiction unexpected, delightful, and delirious!" -Jack Dann, award winning author and editor of over 75 books including The Memory Cathedral
