(Fiction, 304 pp. 2017)
This hybrid work of fiction, memoir and literary criticism alternates between two distinct stories about two Americans who travel to Tel Aviv searching for something they cannot articulate: a New York lawyer named Epstein in the final stages of giving away his fortune; a critically acclaimed American novelist named Nicole, suffering a mixture of writer’s block, insomnia and restlessness.
