Summary:
Set in 1940s Palestine, Yoel Hoffmann's magnificent new novel "Bernhard" has been hailed in Israel as his masterpiece. As his hero tries to come to terms with his grief at the death of his wife and the disasters of World War II, Hoffmann shows the slow remaking of an inner world. Rich in cross-cultural complexities, "Bernhard" conveys a hypnotically atomized work of intense beauty.
