"[An] ingenious work that circles around the rise of a state, the tragic destiny of a mother, a boy’s creation of a new self." — The New Yorker
A family saga and a magical self-portrait of a writer who witnessed the birth of a nation and lived through its turbulent history. A Tale of Love and Darkness is the story of a boy who grows up in war-torn Jerusalem, in a small apartment crowded with books in twelve languages and relatives speaking nearly as many. The story of an adolescent whose life has been changed forever by his mother’s suicide. The story of a man who leaves the constraints of his family and community to join a kibbutz, change his name, marry, have children. The story of a writer who becomes an active participant in the political life of his nation.
"One of the most enchanting and deeply satisfying books that I have read in many years." — New Republic

评分 评分前两天看陈嘉映写到:那些光彩夺目的爱,非要带几分虚浮矫饰,太深重的爱,倒像一袋泥沙闷上心头。 在一种刻意凸显男性气质和阳刚叙事的犹太文化中,人们滔滔不绝,谈论以色列建国,谈论文学、宗教、哲学,谈论这个世界上其他民族的苦难。这群从世界各地来到耶路撒冷的知识分子...

评分Maybe that’s a good story. But I was blocked by too many place names. Sure can better appreciate the work after a trip to the great Jerusalem.
