Description: Tel Aviv, Open University of Israel, 1998. 408 pp. Previous owner's initials on first blanc. Good copy. Softcover. Many new writers and new developments typify Israeli prose fiction in the 1980s. This book deals mainly with established writers who made way for a younger, present-day generation, and presents a close examination of their works, which focus on the problematics of individual versus collective norms. An introduction presents the position of these writers between the generation of the sixties and the "new generation". Writers and texts discussed are: Y. Shabtai, Past Continuous, Y. Kenaz, A Musical Moment and Heart Murmur; A.B. Yehoshua, Mr. Mani; D. Grossman, The Book of Intimate Grammar; Y. Hoffmann, The Book of Joseph and Bernhard.
