Description: This anthology demonstrates the astonishing richness and diversity of Hebrew short fiction by including not only established authors of the status of Amos Oz, A. B. Yehoshua, Yehuda Amichai and David Grossman, but also less well-known writers whose stories have not been published in translation before: Orly Castel-Bloom and Savyon Liebrecht among the younger women writers, Yitzhak Oren among the more experimental older generation.

Glenda Abramson's informative introduction sets the scene for a powerful literary collection, the definitive anthology of a vibrant modern genre.
