A proposito di questo titolo

This audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow and Eric Meyers brings alive revelatory talks about art and life with internationally acclaimed Israeli novelist Amos Oz

In the last years of his life, the writer Amos Oz talked regularly with Shira Hadad, who worked closely with him as the editor of his final novel, Judas. These candid, uninhibited dialogues show a side of Oz that few ever saw.

What Makes an Apple? presents the most revealing of these conversations in English for the first time, painting an illuminating and disarmingly intimate portrait of a towering literary figure.

In frank and open exchanges that are by turns buoyant, introspective, and argumentative, Oz explains what impels him to begin a story and shares his routines, habits, and challenges as a writer. He discusses the tectonic changes he experienced in his lifetime in relationships between women and men, and describes how his erotic coming of age shaped him not only as a man but also as an author. Oz reflects on his parents, his formative years on a kibbutz, and how he dealt with and learned from his critics, his students, and his fame. He talks about why there is more humor in his later books and gives his exceptional take on fear of death.

Resonating with Oz's clear, honest, and humorous voice, What Makes an Apple? offers unique insights about Oz's artistic and personal evolution, and enables listeners to explore his work in new ways.

Recensioni della critica

"Perspectives on life and literature from one of Israel's most celebrated authors. . . . Oz lyrically addresses such topics as his motivations as a writer, writing process, views on sexuality, decades on a kibbutz, and the ways in which his writing changed from early successes to later works. . . . Memorable viewpoints guaranteed to evoke strong feelings."—Kirkus Reviews

"Among the most memorable commentary is on the writer's craft. . . . For [Oz's] fans. . . this works as a quick fix."—Publishers Weekly

"[A] wonderful little book."—Robert Siegel, Moment Magazine (Robert Siegel)
