Amazon.com description: Product Description: âInformed by everything, weighed down by nothing, this is an exquisite work of art.â âThe Scotsman
Strange things are happening in Tel Ilan, a century-old pioneer village. A disgruntled retired politician complains to his daughter that he hears the sound of digging at night. Could it be their tenant, that young Arab? But then the young Arab hears the digging sounds too. Where has the mayorâs wife gone, vanished without trace, her note saying âDonât worry about meâ? Around the village, the veneer of new wealthâgourmet restaurants, art galleries, a wineryâbarely conceals the scars of war and of past generations: disused air raid shelters, rusting farm tools, and trucks left wherever they stopped. Scenes from Village Life is a memorable novel-in-stories by the inimitable Amos Oz: a brilliant, unsettling glimpse of what goes on beneath the surface of everyday life.
Translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange
