Returning to the kibbutz of his childhood to attend his father's funeral, Avraham Balaban confronts his buried yet still intensely painful childhood memories. Comparing the kibbutz of today with that of his early years, the author weaves together two interrelated stories: a sensitive artist growing up in the intensely pragmatic world of Kibbutz Huldah and the rise and fall of a grand yet failed social experiment. As he moves through the seven days of sitting shivah for his father, Balaban experiences an expanding cycle of mourning--for self, family, the kibbutz, and Israel itself. With a poet's keen voice, Balaban pens a poignant, frank portrait of the emotional damage wrought by the kibbutz...

"Daniel Strasel’s THE TERRORS OF WONDER is perhaps one of the quirkiest books I’ve encountered in this year’s contest, and certainly one of the most original. A mere summary of the plot (someone is trying to steal a young heiress’s inheritance) doesn’t do justice to the book’s odd structure: it’s made up of narrative, graphs, charts, footnotes, and appendices. All of this helps to lend the book a sense of verisimilitude—we feel as though we’re reading a collection of documents about an actual event. Strasel calls the book a tragicomedy, and it in fact is: there’s a great deal of humor in the book, but it’s about rather a serious topic. Much of the writing is quite good,...
