Scenes from Village Life

Enjoyed this set of slightly connected stories of people living in a small Israeli village, yet didn't quite know what to make of the odd twists and dream-like narrative that popped into the stories. But, the effortless ebb and flow of the writing amazes me and I didn't really care the I didn't “get it”. He writes a character's thoughts in such a way that you feel you are inside that person's head.

I will be looking for and reading more from this author and would suggest this book to people interested in deep character-driven writing and Israeli/Jewish topics.
