It's the opportunity of a lifetime for middle-aged Ezra Shultish--a chance to the meet his literary hero, Nobel Laureate Bar Nun, a writer Ezra has worshipped for most of his career as a teacher and translator. Hoping to get a recording of the author reading his story, The Yemenite Girl , Shultish travels to Israel, where he finds himself pursuing his own Yemenite girl, as well as the elusive author. But will Ezra get the girl--or his own glimpse of literary fame? Winner of the Edward Lewis Wallant Book Award, The Yemenite Girl is Curt Leviant's comic novel on the nature of celebrity and the relationship between life and art. "Shultish is a man with a life of his own. . . . And the celebrity, too, is remarkably drawn. . . . [The book] is done with great tact, feeling, and skill." --Saul Bellow, Pulitzer Prize- and Nobel Prize for Literature-winning author "A passionate story . . . The charm of the text and the intensity of the subtext is what keeps the pages turning." -- The New York Times Book Review "Good comic writing and satire on the Hebrew literary scene with its jealous politicking for literary prizes." -- The Washington Post

Lili A Novel of Love, Suspense and Redemption of the True Kind

Shlomo Kalo
There was something similar to the depraved beginning of Theodora, Empress of Byzantine, who had been a dancer, and the beginning of Miriam the woman from Magdala. And by a similar fate, they were both later considered saints... Here is the gripping, suspenseful story of Lili, a prostitute from nowadays Jaffa, as told by Adon, the unlikely passer-by who saved her life. It is a razor-sharp story of love and fateful struggles, set against the raw and vibrant human landscape of Jaffa. A stark and riveting account of the human experience in its many moving parts. Author Shlomo Kalo delivers another thought-provoking masterpiece that richly explores the zeniths of man's compassion, and the depths of his depravity. A master of craft, Kalo employs honesty in conveying the rich layers of human lives and the delicacy by which their various struggles paint the city of Jaffa in vibrant hues of struggle and hope.

Enchanted Dulcinea

Angelina Muñiz-Huberman
In this English translation of the 1993 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize winner Dulcinea encantada (1992) by Mexican author Angelina Muñiz-Huberman, Dulcinea travels in a car writing novels in her mind about several Dulcineas: a medieval princess on a quest, a nineteenth-century lady-in-waiting in Mexico, and a twentieth-century young woman who was sent to Russia as a girl to escape the Spanish Civil War and later journeys to Mexico to reunite with her parents. Unsure of her identity, Dulcinea remembers, debates, and records memories of her exile. As she circles Mexico City, she examines the role of memory, speech, and writing through her fragmented narrative voice. Dulcinea explores her place in the world through storytelling, blurring the line between reality and imagination. This novel pairs a lyrical and contemplative style with experimental writing to present common themes of identity formation and exile in a unique form. Dulcinea’s quest is also one of spiritual connection with apocalyptic and mystical overtones. With allusions to both Christian and Jewish mystical traditions, this novel reveals a crypto-Jewish presence typical of Muñiz-Huberman’s writing, forming part of a Sephardic literary tradition. This edition includes an introduction and annotations by the translator, Rebecca Marquis.
