A.B. Yehoshua 
The Continuing Silence of a Poet [EPUB ebook] 
The Collected Stories of A.B. Yehoshua

Ajutor

This new edition of A. B. Yehoshua’s novellas and short stories includes two stories which did not previously appear in the hardback edition published in 1988, and no longer includes ‘Mr. Mani’ which, in the intervening years, has been developed into a prize-winning novel. The development of the author’s style can be traced from its dark beginnings in stories such as ‘The Yatir Evening Express’, about a village which decides to vent its frustration at its isolation and insignificance on the evening express. Isolation and loneliness are central to Yehoshua’s concerns, whether it be people’s isolation from each other, from their community or from their family. The pain of this isolation is intense, as in the title story in which the distance between an ageing poet and his simple son is agonising. In ‘Facing the Forests’, a fire-watcher’s isolation gives rise to deep longings for tragedy – a story which has since been seen to symbolise the relationship between Jew and Arab in Israel. Several of the stories deal with people thrust into positions of responsibility and the feelings of frustration and impotence which ensue are disturbing – murderous even. In ‘Three Days and a Child’, a man agrees to care for the three-year old son of a former lover. Those three days are marked by a strange detachment and sadistic, heart-stopping neglect of the child. The stories are ironic and understated, and the pace masterly. This collection confirms Yehoshua’s talent as a major short-story writer. He has been awarded the prestigious Israel Prize for his entire œuvre.
