Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Twilight and Other Stories, Shulamith Hareven, translated from Hebrew by Miriam Arad, Hillel Hallkin, J. M. Lask, and David Weber, 1992, Israel, SHORT STORIES

"..."Twilight" takes place in a dream/nightmare world where the impossible seems probable: "In one night's year I met a man, married, became pregnant, and gave birth to a murky child who grew fast, all without life...Shulamith Hareven's stories create psychological tension and evoke a genuine concern for her characters, while Jerusalem, an ancient walled city with roofed alleys, newly constructed buildings, and many refugees, provides a fitting backdrop for the many lives she represents."

(H.S., p. 106)
