Description: "In The Christ of Fish, Yoel Hoffmann creates a novel out of a mosaic of two hundred and thirty-three pieces of Aunt Magda's life in Tel Aviv."--BOOK JACKET.

"Originally from Vienna, Hoffmann's heroine is a widow who still speaks German after decades in Israel. The myriad mini-chapters offer many views of Aunt Magda - her childhood, her marriage, her nephew, her best friend Frau Stier, Wildegans' poetry, apple strudel, visions and dreams, two stolen handbags, a favorite cafe, and a gentleman admirer."--BOOK JACKET.
