Items related to The Smile of the Lamb
In a chorus of voices "The Smile of the Lamb" tells the story of Uri, an idealistic young Israeli soldier serving in an army unit in the small Palestinian village of Andal, in the occupied territories, and his relationship with Khilmi, a nearly blind old Palestinian storyteller. Gradually as the violent reality of the occupation that infects both the occupier and the occupied alike merges with the old man's stories, Uri, captivated by Khilmi's wisdom, tries to solve the riddles and deceits that make up his life.Originally published in Hebrew in 1983, "The Smile of the Lamb" is a novel of disillusionment and a piercing examination of injustice and dishonesty.
