Amos Oz recommends
The Ruined House (2017)
Ruby Namdar
"The Ruined House is a fascinating novel about the overwhelming presence of myth and historical trauma in our lives. A cross between Saul Bellow's disintegrating intellectuals and Bulgakov's mystical revelations, this is a fiercely inventive novel."
The Liar (2019)
Ayelet Gundar-Goshen
"Such a good book that touched me so deeply and strongly...Wonderful."
House on Endless Waters (2020)
Emuna Elon
"I read this book in excitement and wonder. It's not only a touching and fascinating book, but a sophisticated one as well."
The Last Interview (2020)
Eshkol Nevo
"Eshkol Nevo is a fascinating storyteller who gives the reader a broad and diverse picture of Israeli society."
