The Sermon & Other Stories
This representative volume of stories by Hazaz, spanning his career and interests, from the shtetl world, to the spiritual life of the Yemenite community to Zionism and Jewish history. It is a powerful collection, as Dan Miron of Columbia University writes in the introduction: "no section of Hebrew literature has given such powerful, intelligent expression to the experience of beforehand, of almost, of wavering on the threshold, of movement between being and nothingness, as the wide-ranging work of Hazaz."
