Omer Friedlander

This is a high-quality batch of eleven short stories set in contemporary Israel and the surrounding areas. These stories are beautifully written and engaging. Storytelling is a featured element, with numerous references to fables and classic tales (such as Scheherazade). There is not a dud in the bunch. Separately, I would give each one either four or five stars. It is an impressive collection. I look forward to reading more from Friedlander.
