| Publisher Description: An] original and powerful writer.... His clear and honest writing blasts right through the clich s and the politically correct surface to touch the chaotic and ambiguous core of the Israeli identity." --Etgar Keret "In a dazzling display of empathy, Gavron creates two equally compelling narrators, the bomber and his victim. This is a virtuoso work; a pitch-perfect rendering of real Israeli life in all its chaos, energy, humor and terror. I couldn't put it down." -- Geraldine Brooks Politically incorrect, provocative, and steeped in wit and irony, Almost Dead is a fast-paced tragicomic novel about the perfectly ordinary madness in today's Middle East. |
