Anton Shammas on Shami's Hebron Stories, September 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Hebron Stories (The Henry J. Leir library of Sephardica) (Paperback)
"Shami brought into the scene of modern Hebrew literature, some seventy years ago, a local, Palestinian validity that hasn't been matched, or challenged, since. Vengeance of the Fathers is the only novel in modern Hebrew literature whose characters, landscapes and narrative voice are all Palestinian."
Anton Shammas

Arnold J. Band on Shami's Hebron Stories, September 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Hebron Stories (The Henry J. Leir library of Sephardica) (Paperback)
"Looking back at a story like The Vengeance of the Fathers that portrays the Arabs of Palestine, one cannot escape the ironic conclusion that Shami may be one of the most significant Palestinian writers of this century."
Arnold J. Band.
