Beskrivning

The final literary testament of 'one of Israel's greatest and least celebrated writers' (Nicole Krauss), Between Life and Death is a startlingly brave, funny, poetic and moving autobiographical novel about the four months Yoram Kaniuk spent in a coma near the end of his life. With his unique blend of playfulness and fearlessness, Kaniuk attempts to penetrate his own lost consciousness and understand what led him to fight for his life with such desperate stubbornness. It is the final literary testament of one of the world's greatest overlooked writers.
