Summary: Troubling, haunting and beautiful novel
Comment: This latest work of Aharon Megged to be translated into English is a haunting and beautifully woven novel that delves into the tension of modern day Israel and the remnants of Eastern European Yiddish culture and the Holocaust. Foiblman, a Holocaust survivor who writes poetry in Yiddish and lives in Paris, represents the tragic loss of the vibrant, heimishe world of Yiddish culture. The protagonist whom he befriends, Professor Tzvi Arbel is an Israeli researcher of Eastern European Jewry -- living in Tel Aviv while delving into Petliura in Ukraine. The story of their interaction and its effect on Tzvi's wife is revealed in flashbacks creating a fascinating mosaic of time and place. This novel is not only a pleasure to read for its language and descriptions; it also opens the painful issue of Israelis in their relation to the tragic history of the Jewish people, their languages and their tolerance for suffering.
