Recensioner i media

"Lucid and heartbreaking... Explores the always uncertain relationships between men and women, parents and children, friends and enemies, in a clear, clipped language perfectly suited to the laconic tone of the narrative and impeccably rendered into English by Sondra Silverston" -- Alberto Manguel Guardian "Between Friends is arguably something new, a collection of stories, but so interlinked by theme, setting and its rolling cast that it boasts the sense, scope and unity of a novel... The writing, tight and delicate, is technically breathtaking" -- Billy O'Callaghan Irish Examiner "Oz is brilliant at compact images in which a small action expresses a complexity of unarticulated emotion" -- Rebecca Abrams Financial Times "There's a beautiful economy and simplicity to Oz's storytelling" The Times "Oz lifts the veil on kibbutz existence without palaver. His pin-point descriptions of individuals and spaces...are pared to perfection in order to resonate. His people twitch with life" -- Tom Adair Scotsman
