The critiques examine all English translations of these Israeli writers' major works from the beginning of their careers up to the present. Cohen demonstrates the vitality and virtuosity of the so-called New Wave Israeli writers whose sources and influences are as ancient as the stories of the Hebrew Bible and as modern as the interiorization of reality found in Proust, Faulkner, Woolf, and Joyce; and the literary adaptation of relativity found in Borges, Lowry, and Durrell. Complementing the critiques are interviews with the five Israeli writers. The issues discussed-the relation of politics and literature, the influence of literature on life, the role of the writer in society, the moral responsibility of the writer-combine with the essays to provide comprehensive insight into the contemporary Israeli psyche. 606 $aAuthors, Israeli$vInterviews 606 $aIsraeli literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aAuthors, Israeli 615 0$aIsraeli literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a892.4/09006 700 $aCohen$b Joseph$f1926-$01807643 701 $aAmichai$b Yehuda$0643797 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966955303321 996 $aVoices of Israel$94357478 997 $aUNINA
