Death of a Holy Land: Reflections in Contemporary Israeli Fiction,
by Rose Levinson, uses the work of four contemporary Israeli
authors as a lens into present-day Israel. Discussing the novels of
Orly Castel-Bloom, Michal Govrin, Zeruya Shalev, and Yoram Kaniuk,
the book argues for a new understanding of today's Israel. Crucial
to renewed awareness is a view of the country that jettisons the
notion of Israel as an exceptional, sacred state immune from 21st
century discontents. Attention is focused on ways in which many of
Israel's most pressing problems are linked to long-standing issues
of Jewish identity. Continual reference to the novels gives weight
and substance to Death of a Holy Land's underlying insistence on
the need for a critical view of Israel as a country deeply
ill-at-ease with itself.
