Since 1968, when his novel \”My Michael\” — exquisitely narrated by a despairing young wife in Jerusalem — mesmerized thousands of readers, Amos Oz has been recognized as one of Israel\’s most gifted and prolific authors. He has produced 22 books — 11 novels, three collections of stories and novellas, one children\’s book, and seven books of articles and essays — that have been translated into 35 languages. His work is his autobiography, and until now Oz had been reticent about his own life.
