It explores how Russian-Israeli prose responds to the central questions of our time, crafting myths of miraculous encounters, everyday righteousness, catastrophe and salvation, sacrifice and foundation, cities and empires.
This book is essential for anyone interested in contemporary Russian literature, Israeli culture, theoretical literary issues, realism in literature and philosophy, Russian and Jewish emigration and mobility, 20th-century literary history, and current literary trends in the 21st century.
