Review

"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)
