The Counterlife

ISBN: 0374130264

324 pages. First edition (first printing). Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Light spotting to top of page block. Boards slightly splayed.

This radical work, whose protagonist is the novelist Nathan Zuckerman, ranges from a Christmas Carol service in London's West End to a Sabbath evening celebration in Israel's occupied West Bank. It suceeds in evoking both the nationalist militancy within modern Israel and the coded but palpable manifestations of anti-Semitism in establishment England.

Price: $12.00
