Book Description
"It's not just Murakami but also the shadow of Borges that hovers over this mesmerizing book... [and] one may detect a slight bow to the American macabre of E.A. Poe. Ogawa stands on the shoulders of giants, as another saying goes. But this collection may linger in your mind -- it does in mine -- as a delicious, perplexing, absorbing and somehow singular experience." -- Alan Cheuse, NPR Sinister forces collide---and unite a host of desperate characters---in this eerie cycle of interwoven tales from Yoko Ogawa, the critically acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor. An aspiring writer moves into a new apartment and discovers that her landlady has murdered her husband. Elsewhere, an accomplished surgeon is approached by a cabaret singer, whose beautiful appearance belies the grotesque condition of her heart. And while the surgeon's jealous lover vows to kill him, a violent envy also stirs in the soul of a lonely craftsman. Desire meets with impulse and erupts, attracting the attention of the surgeon's neighbor---who is drawn to a decaying residence that is now home to instruments of human torture. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders---their fates converge in an ominous and darkly beautiful web. Yoko Ogawa's Revenge is a master class in the macabre that will haunt you to the last page. An NPR Best Book of 2013

Book Description
A Quarter in Half Time: Arab Soul, Jewish Eyes This book is a triology which includes a novel, poetry and essays written by an Arab-Jew (Sephardic). The novel specifically addresses the cultural and physological conflicts of a teenaged Arab-Jew in an alienated Ashkenazic-European Israeli environment. The poetry section includes three parts: the Zionist Movement in Israel, love and universal themes. This section, written with experience and the insight that comes with maturity, emphasizes the deep-rooted birth culture that exists in each individual. The third section is a potpourri of material for both enjoyment and intellectual stimulation.
