Product Description

Review

"Every event, every factual detail, every discovery opens myriad doors to unexpected revelations..It is impossible to give a full account of this books' riches." (The Washington Post Book World )

"This is one of the most enchanting and deeply satisfying books that I have read in my years." (The New Republic )

"Both spiritually moving and secularly provocative." (The Los Angeles Time Review )

Product Description

The Author (unnamed), a man in his forties, a literary celebrity, is in Tel Aviv on a stifling hot night to give a reading. Even as the reading from a new book is underway, and the obligatory inane questions ("Why do you write? What is it like to be famous? Do you write with a pen or on a computer?) have been asked and answered-Oz brings to life a whole new cast of characters--among them Yakir Bar-Orian Zhitomirski, a self-styled literary guru; Tsefania Beit-Halachmi, a poet (whose work provides the novel's titles); Rochele Reznik, a professional reader, with whom the Author has a brief but steamy sexual skirmish; to say nothing of Ricky the waitress, the real object of desire. One life story builds on another--with the author a participant in all.
