Description
The Hebrew Teacher is a novella-length story about an older Israeli woman who reflects on nearly half a century spent teaching Hebrew at a university in the American Midwest. Her quiet life has been built around building up an academic program in Hebrew and Jewish studies, but lately, enrollment in her classes has fallen.
When a new, flashy professor is hired, Ilana is caught off guard by his complicated critiques of Israeli politics, which seem to undermine not just her work but also the comfortable assumptions on which she's based her life. This quiet story is meticulously observed and features remarkable shades of subtlety and nuance.
The other two novellas in this volume explore similar themes with remarkable depth and insight. Each story is marked by the meticulousness of Maya Arad's observations, making for a collection that is both traditional in form and wise in its cullings.
