Same Sea

In a world full of hype noise and confusion the simple lucidity of <em>The Same Sea</em> is totally unexpected. --<em> New York Times Book Review</em> <p/><em>The Same Sea</em> is Amos Oz's most adventurous and inventive book a novel of lyrical beauty and narrative power. We meet the middle-aged Albert; his wife whom he has lost to cancer; his prodigal son who wanders the mountains of Tibet hoping to find himself; and his son's young girlfriend with whom Albert becomes infatuated. The author himself receives phone calls from his creations criticizing him for his portraits of them. A fever dream of chaos and order love and eroticism loyalty and betrayal. <p/>A prose poem . . . at once melancholic and sensual. --<em> The New Yorker</em>
