Tel Aviv Stories
Israeli Short Fiction from the Heart of the Mideast
Book • 0
Tel Aviv Stories is an inventive, empathetic set of character studies shining a light on the underclass of Tel Aviv, a city rooted in a Levantine past but racing towards a globalized future.
Featuring moving, haunting, and comical tales of Russian emigre musicians, beggars, immigrant families, and an old woman offering blessings, the book mixes mysticism, Jewish irony, and Middle Eastern grit.
Praised as 'strikingly fresh' by Kirkus Reviews and 'measured and inviting' by The Jerusalem Post, it offers a kaleidoscopic view of the city's hidden figures.
