"[A] deeply affecting chamber piece [that] draws on...the contradictory urges that lie at the heart of Israel's psyche."
--Ben Lawrence, "The Telegraph" (UK)
"Oz lifts the veil on kibbutz existence without palaver. His pin-point descriptions are pared to perfection... His people twitch with life."
--"Scotsman "(UK)
"Lucid and heartbreaking... Oz explores the always uncertain relationships between men and women, parents and children, friends and enemies, in a clear, clipped language perfectly suited to the laconic tone of the narrative and impeccably rendered into English by Sondra Silverston"
--Alberto Manguel, "Guardian "(UK)
"A collection of stories....that boasts the sense, scope and unity of a novel...Breathtaking."
--"Irish Examiner "(Ireland)
"A complex and melancholic vision of people struggling to transcend their individuality for the sake of mundanely idealistic goals."
--"Times Literary Supplement" (UK)
"All Israeli life is here, rendered in loving detail."
--"Mail on Sunday "(UK)
Winner, 2013 Franz Kafka Prize
"Oz traces the emotional terrain of kibbutz life in this. . . gorgeous, rueful collection of eight linked stories about life in fictional Kibbutz Yekhat. . . Written in deliberately unadorned prose (beautifully translated by Sondra Silverston), ["Between Friends"] lays bare the deepest human longings."
--"Chicago Tribune"
"The mind is a place Oz explores masterfully in all its contradiction, texture and heartache. "Between Friends" paints the daily lives behind utopian dreams, fully realized."
--"New York Daily News "

"[An] intricately interwoven skein of eight new stories. . . Between Friends richly satisfies. . . One savors these moody miniatures of the kibbutz past (gracefully translated by Sondra Silverston) for their jazzlike variations; each elegantly underscores the uncertain fates awaiting both the lonely individual and the community."
