- Summary:
- A Personal Chronicle of the Last Ten Years from a Leading Voice of Israeli DissentWhat went wrong after Oslo? How can Israelis and Palestinians make peace? How has the violence changed their lives, and their souls? For the last ten years, David Grossman, one of Israel's great fiction writers, has addressed these questions in a series of passionate essays and articles, writing not only as one of his country's most respected novelists and reporters, but as a husband and father and peace activist bitterly disappointed in the leaders of both sides.Appearing for the first time in America, these pieces show us the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the inside and in the moment. They are indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the roots and results of the fighting today.
