Literary Voices of Israel
Murder mysteries, detective novels, historical fiction, fantasy, magical realism...These are the new literary voices coming out of Israel. They are very different and quite complementary to the family stories and immigrant novels we have read and loved. Try one of these authors from this list to get a taste of new Israeli literature! You may find these titles at the Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles.
