Summary: | Rarely is there such synergy between literary texts and a critic's personal convictions as there is in Yael Feldman's latest book. Strong positions and emotional ties often prove a double-edged sword, especially when ideology dictates the interpretation. In the present case, the deep bond between the fictional narratives and the scholar is mostly beneficial, lending Feldman's writing exceptional verve and drama. |
