Media Reviews
There is no novelist writing today who catches the feeling of the moment more surely than Amos Oz * Scotsman *
The book eavesdrops on several days in the life of this Jewish Walter Mitty, a Dostoevskian holy fool minus the faith, with the penchant for casuistic sophistry of Bellow's Herzog * Sunday Telegraph *
This might turn out to be the first entry into Israel's "post-war" literary canon * Independent *
A warm, enhancing experience * Spectator *
A thinking woman's Billy Liar * Observer *
An outstanding work... a hilarious and moving portrait * Irish Times *
