More about the book
Momik grows up in Israel in the 1950s. One day, his grandfather, who supposedly died during the war, unexpectedly appears in his home. He tells a story from the land "There," which the boy cannot comprehend, and then... disappears. To understand the terrible fate of his family and nation, Momik becomes a writer. Following in the footsteps of his spiritual master, Bruno Schulz, he finds himself in Poland during the Solidarity era. He also writes a camp psychodrama about the torturer and the victim. All this is to understand Evil. What is it? Why does man commit it? Can it be eliminated once and for all? A multi-layered novel that combines humor and tragedy, everyday life and metaphysics, full of surprising images and insights, spans over forty years.
