The Retrospective

Book Review: Israeli Novelist A.B. Yehoshua’s Fascinating “Retrospective”

This fascinating book ends, leaving the reader with all sorts of questions — but that is exactly what really good fiction always does. Opening our minds, etching characters in our imaginations, and generating all sorts of possibilities.
