Description: There may be no place more blessed - or burdened - with narrative than Israel. In this country, story and place are inextricable.

From stories set in the historical, holy city of Jerusalem to those that take place in the modern, secular city of Tel Aviv, from writing addressing the current "situation" to tales inspired by the timeless desert, this volume of sixteen short stories by Israel's finest new writers, and some of its best-loved ones, captures for the reader one of the world's most fascinating travel destinations.
