4.0 out of 5 stars
an eccentric look at the destruction,
By Eric Maroney (Trumansburg, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Touch the Water, Touch the Wind (Paperback)
An eccentrically lyrical novel of the Holocaust, Oz treats the destruction of Europe's Jews in a mythical vein. The main character is drawn as a cross current between science and religion; cast as a Christ-like figure, his ability to defy the laws of nature is balanced by his rationalism. In keeping with the title, the novel has a strange kind of levitation on the level of language; a kind of realism, it skims the surface of the reality it paints, giving the reader no deep insight into the psychology of the characters. This is not a flaw in Oz's writing. Rather, it is a lesson in metaphysics and mysticism. Touch the Water Touch the Wind is a mediation of what language can and can't explain in human experience.
