Back to the Future
This compelling and incisive study opens a fascinating window into the key genres of writing that emerged in Israeli writing during the 1980s and 1990s, and provides new understandings about how contemporary Israeli literature evolved to be what it is today. It examines the social and political background of the dramatic and broad transformations that took place in Israeli society during this period of transitionâ "the Yom Kippur War, the election of the Likkud Party, the Lebanon War, the rise of postmodernism, the impact of feminism, and the collapse of national consensusâ "and links those developments to the literary changes that seeped into the fabric of Israeli writing of that time.

Malou
Ruth Kneppel was pregnant with her daughter Michele when war broke out in Europe in 1939. As the German army and French police closed in on Ruth and her family, they hid in various homes throughout Paris before fleeing south to France's free zone. A woman of incredible courage and defiance, Ruth joined the Resistance and engaged in perilous undercover operations, posing as an Algerian Christian with the nom de guerre 'Malou'. In Malou: French Resistance Fighter, Michele Huppert details the role her mother played in the liberation of France, including transporting coded messages to operatives hiding in the forest, smuggling revolvers to Resistance assassins, and preparing political prisoners for jailbreak. At just three years of age, Michele accompanied her mother during many secret operations, providing the perfect ruse for SS officers and enemy collaborators searching for Resistance fighters. In the years following liberation, the family returned to Paris where Ruth assisted in the care of orphaned Jewish children through her work with the humanitarian organisation OSE. Eventually, Ruth and Michele made their way to Australia where they built a new life in a peaceful country.
