My Michael

"Oz at 33 has clearly established himself as one of Israel's most gifted and original writers...[He exhibits] a growing artistic control over the hallucinatory vision of spiritual and sexual unrest that is his hallmark as a novelist. 'My Michael' is his first full-length work to be published in English, and in [this] admirable translation it should give English readers a good sense of Oz's special haunting power...No one until Amos Oz has so strikingly realized the potential of [Jerusalem] as correlative for isolation and alienation...[This is] the study of a minutely felt process of psychological erosion, rendered with uncompromising consistency in an imaginatively wrought prose rich with suggestive imagery. It bespeaks a talent that should command growing attention in the three years to come."Oz, Amos is the author of 'My Michael ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780156031608 and ISBN 0156031604.
