The Same Sea

The Same Sea

<DIV>€œIn a world full of hype, noise, and confusion, the simple lucidity of <I>The Same Sea</I> is totally unexpected.€ €"<I> New York Times Book Review</I><br><br><I>The Same Sea</I> is Amos Oz€s most adventurous and inventive book, a novel of lyrical beauty and narrative power. We meet the middle-aged Albert; his wife, whom he has lost to cancer; his prodigal son, who wanders the mountains of Tibet hoping to find himself; and his son€s young girlfriend, with whom Albert becomes infatuated. The author himself receives phone calls from his creations, criticizing him for his portraits of them. A fever dream of chaos and order, love and eroticism, loyalty and betrayal. <br><br>€œA prose poem . . . at once melancholic and sensual.€ €"<I> The New Yorker</I></div>
