Hoffmann, Yoel / Levenston, Eddie / Treister, Alan:
Katschen: & the Book of Joseph - used book

1980, ISBN: 9780811213738

ID: 3382067

Truly eye-opening, Katschen & The Book of joseph makes an amazing American debut for Israeli writer Yoel Hoffmann. Both of these intensely moving novellas display the entirely original poetry of Hoffmann's atomized hypnotic language, which Rosmarie Waldrop has called "utterly enchanting...it's like nothing else". "The Book of Joseph" tells the tragic story of a widowed Jewish tailor and his son in 1930s Berlin; "Katschen" gives an astounding child's-eye-view of a boy orphaned in Palestine. "When Yoel Hoffmann's books first appeared in the late 1980s", Professor Nili Gold has commented, "they seemed to have tunneled their way into Israel from afar.... Technically of the Same generation (the "generation of the State") as canonical realist writers like A.B. Yehoshua and Amos Oz, he didn't begin to publish fiction until his late forties, and in many Ways he represents a generation of one at the edge of the Israeli avant-garde".

Katschen and the Book of Joseph - used book

ISBN: 0811213730

ID: 3572851

In kaleidoscopic fragments, Hoffmann refracts Jewish popular lore and folk wisdom through a postmodernist prism, brightening his prose with snatches of verse, songs, diary excerpts, letters, ominous dreams, lush erotic passages and Yiddish sayings. "The Book of Joseph" tells the tragic story of a widowed Jewish tailor and his son in 1930s Berlin. "Katschen" gives an astounding child's-eye view of a boy orphaned in the new state of Israel. The novellas radiate the original poetry of Hoffmann's atomized hypnotic language, which Rosmarie Waldrop has called "utterly enchanting-it's like nothing else. contemporary,education and reference,fiction,literary,literary criticism and collections,literature,literature and fiction,religion and spirituality Religion & Spirituality, New Directions Publishing Corporation
