📖 The Scoop
David Shahar (19261997), author of the seven-novel sequence The Palace of Shattered Vessels, occupies an ambiguous position in the Israeli literary canon. Often compared to Proust, Shahar produced a body of work that offers a fascinating poetic and ideological alternative to the dominant models of Amos Oz and A. B. Yehoshua. This book, the first full-length study of this fascinating author, takes a fresh look at the uniqueness of his literary achievement in both poetic and ideological terms. In addition to situating Shahar within the European literary tradition, the book reads Shahars representation of Jerusalem in his multi-volume novel as a heterotopiaan actual space where societys unconscious (what does not fit on its ideological map) is materially presentand argues for the relevance of Shahars work to the critical discussion of the Arab question in Israeli culture.
