Essays by Jerusalem's version of Charles Bukowski . . . Just as aware and critical-of his city, his family, Israel, the Arabs, but most of all of himself (NPR).Sayed Kashua has been praised by theNew York Timesas a master of subtle nuance in dealing with both Arab and Jewish society. An Arab-Israeli who lived in Jerusalem for most of his life, Kashua started writing with the hope of creating one story that both Palestinians and Israelis could relate to, rather than two that cannot coexist together. He devoted his novels and his satirical weekly column published inHaaretzto telling the Palestinian story and exploring the contradictions of modern Israel, while also capturing the nuances of everyday family life in all its tenderness and chaos.With an intimate tone fueled by deep-seated apprehension and razor-sharp ironic wit, Kashua has been documenting his own life as well as that of society at large: he writes about his children's upbringing and encounters with racism, about fatherhood and married life, the Jewish-Arab conflict, his professional ambitions, travels around the world as an author, and-more than anything-his love of books and literature. He brings forth a series of brilliant, caustic, wry, and fearless reflections on social and cultural dynamics as experienced by someone who straddles two societies. One of the most celebrated satirists in Hebrew literature . . . [Kashua] has an acerbic, dry wit and a talent for turning everyday events into apocalyptic scenarios.-Philadelphia InquirerWhat is most striking in these columns is the universality of what it means to be a father, husband and man.-Toronto Star
