This extraordinary book is the result of Saul Bellow’s sojourn in Israel in 1975. A personal record of his stay—his experiences and impressions—as well as a meditation, it crackles with wit and controversy on America’s relationship with this embattled country.

Bellow records the opinions, passions, and dreams of Israelis of varying viewpoints —
Using quick sketches and vignettes, Bellow captures the personal opinions, passions, and dreams of several Israelis, and he also adds to these his own reflections on being Jewish in the twentieth century. The viewpoints he encounters and interviews offer a revealing look at the history and challenges of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin, Amos Oz, the editor of the largest Arab-language newspaper in Israel, a kibbutznik escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto — and adds his own thoughts on being Jewish in the twentieth century.

Bellow’s passionate storytelling draws listeners in to share in his experience.
