The Same Sea
Translated from the HebrewBy Amos Oz
Translated by: Nicholas de Lange
6.12"x8.25" (208 Pages)Publisher: Harcourt, 2001
From the internationally acclaimed Israeli author, a unique novel in verse that will take its place among the great books of our time.
This is Oz free of convention - literary and otherwise. Prose leads to poetry, poetry to prose. The cast of characters ranges from a prodigal son to a widowed father who has taken in his son's enticing young girlfriend, who in turn sleeps with her boyfriend's close friend. The author himself receives phone calls from his characters, criticizing the way he portrays them in his novel. In this human profustion there is chaos and order, love and eroticism, loyalty and betrayal, and ultimately an extraordinary energy.
Reminiscent of Under Milk Wood for the range of its voices, its earthy humor, and its poignancy, The Same Sea is hertbreaking and sensuous, filled with classical echoes and Biblical allusions. Oz at his very best.
