Description
"This book could very well be titled The Story of a Diver into Empty Pools," says Israeli writer Amos Oz. This is when he recounts the pivotal moments of his life, when he ventured into the unknown several times and had to start over – changing his name and leaving home, spending a significant part of his life in a kibbutz, where he fought hard for the conditions to write, and ultimately had to leave from there with his children and wife, nearly without money and resources. The interview is conducted by his long-time editor Shira Chadad. She critically questions him about his writing and inspirations, political views, and relationship with eroticism and gender, empathetically listening as Oz shares about his mother's suicide or the anger of fanatics outraged by his texts. In six interviews about passion and love, guilt, joy, and death, it provides a unique and intimate insight into the life and work of a significant writer, an eternal hopeful for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
