Analysis of their fiction is the basis for a critique of today's Israel, suggesting that its current malaise is linked to long-standing issues of Jewish identity and insisting on the need for a revised view which recognizes the country as a deeply conflicted modern nation state. 606 $aIsraeli fiction$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aIsraeli fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a892.4/3709 700 $aLevinson$b Rose L.$f1941-$01713227 701 $aLevinson$b Rose L.$f1941-$01713227 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817524803321 996 $aDeath of a holy land$94106052 997 $aUNINA
