Ironic, understated, masterly prose is the hallmark of A B.
Yehoshua's work.
The ten stories collected here are representative of almost thirty years in his outstanding career.
Some of his best-loved stories are included.
Three Days and a Child is a chilling look at how a small child becomes the instrument of vengeance against his mother; The Yatir Evening Express tells the tragic story of remote mountain villagers who conspire to derail a train in order to have some contact with the outside world; and in the moving title story, an aging poet cannot write as the times demand, but his mentally handicapped son can.
These remarkably poignant tales will touch the reader as only the best fiction can.
