"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)
