SUMMARY:Kay's Book Club
DESCRIPTION:JUDAS By Amos Oz\nTranslated by Nicholas de Lange\n305 pp. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. \nReview by Emily Barton \nIn a 2005 interview\, George Saunders remarked that “all moral concerns in fiction reduce to technical concerns.” He argued for specificity over vagueness — for its ability to make us feel compassion\, and for thoughtful fiction’s ability to frame a complex political argument through aesthetic means. \nThe Israeli author Amos Oz has been publishing fiction and nonfiction since the 1960s. Outspoken about politics\, he has always supported a two-state solution in the Middle East\, regardless of any given Israeli government’s policies. American readers may be most familiar with his 2004 memoir\, “A Tale of Love and Darkness\,” which tells Oz’s coming-of-age story against the backdrop of his mother’s suicide and the state of Israel’s founding. (Natalie Portman’s movie version was released this summer.) Oz’s new novel\, “Judas\,” rendered in sumptuous English by his longtime translator\, Nicholas de Lange\, similarly exemplifies Saunders’s notion of a relationship between the moral and the aesthetic. \n“Judas” concerns Shmuel Ash\, a student in Jerusalem who leaves his studies in the winter of 1959-60 “because his relationship had broken down\, because his research had stalled and especially because his father’s finances had collapsed.” Oz describes Shmuel’s character and physiognomy in loving\, if not always flattering\, detail — descriptions that weave with subtle variation through the novel. He walks with his “bushy\, bearded head thrust forward\, his body leaning with it\, as if eager for the fray. His legs always seemed to be chasing after his body\, which in turn was pursuing his head\, as if they were afraid of being left behind when he disappeared around the next corner.”\n\n  \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/07/books/review/judas-amos-oz.html?unlocked_article_code=1.N08.9-EB.9mOAjydRt_VX&smid=url-share\nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/19/books/amos-oz-on-his-novel-judas-which-challenges-views-of-a-traitor.html?smid=url-share\n\n\n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87889082532?pwd=3gp5GtkUcYYJ2VFkhVubE3Qpzp5Uw0.1\n\nMeeting ID: 878 8908 2532\nPasscode: 067731\n\n\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/keJRcywzfI
