A comprehensive study of Israel's most internationally celebrated writer.
In Somber Lust, Yair Mazor examines the work of the celebrated Israeli writer Amos Oz. In addition to providing a panoramic, comprehensive study of Oz's work, including his novels, novellas, short stories, and numerous essays on literary, social, and political subjects, Mazor also meticulously documents the evolution of Oz's aesthetic and ideological vision. The book concludes with an extensive interview with Oz himself, in which he offers insights into his own work as well as the creative process in general.
Yair Mazor is Professor of Hebrew and Biblical Literature and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He is the author of numerous books, including Pain, Pining, and Pine Trees: Contemporary Hebrew Poetry and A Sense of Structure: Hebrew and Biblical Literature.
