- Summary
- "Nancy E. Berg sheds light on Sami Michael's belated canonization and traces his development as a storyteller. Berg offers fresh readings of each of Michael's major novels. She shows us that by questioning and exploring Israeli and Jewish identity via characters otherwise rare in Hebrew literature - non-European immigrants, Sephardis, and Arabs - Michael has recast the Zionist master narrative. Berg notes that Michael's rise to literary prominence is due not only to his growing sophistication as a writer, but also to changing norms and attitudes in Israeli society."--BOOK JACKET.
