This book introduces the powerful and provocative new fiction and
poetry of Israel's women writers to an English-speaking audience.
Read together, the stories and poems in this book will help to
create a more sophisticated understanding of Middle Eastern
passions and realities, and will foster a wealth of discussion
about the meanings of homeland, exile, and diaspora; women's
sexuality and spirituality; gender roles; the legacy of the
Holocaust; the tensions and reconciliations of religion and secular
life; the effects of war; and the power of memory.
In her introduction, Miriyam Glazer vividly reconstructs the
diversities, tensions, and complexity of current Israeli
literature, and the book reflects the multiculturality of
modern-day Israel by including stories and poems originally written
in Arabic, Russian, Hebrew, and English. Brief biographical and
critical introductions are provided for each writer, and the book
features specially commissioned and new translations of twenty
stories and seventy-five poems, many available here for the first
time in English.
