Description: In Hebrew: THE BOOK OF JOSEPH by Yoel Hoffman, 1988 Softcover book with no DJ. Clean. VG condition. Binding tight. Minor edge wear. Inside, a bit of ink writing on an inside end page. Remainder of book has no markings. Pages clean and crisp.5.25" x 8.25". 169 pages. In kaleidoscopic fragments, Hoffmann refracts Jewish popular lore and folk wisdom through a postmodernist prism, brightening his prose with snatches of verse, songs, diary excerpts, letters, ominous dreams, lush erotic passages and Yiddish sayings. "The Book of Joseph" tells the tragic story of a widowed Jewish tailor and his son in 1930s Berlin. "Katschen" gives an astounding child's-eye view of a boy orphaned in the new state of Israel. The novellas radiate the original poetry of Hoffmann's atomized hypnotic language, which Rosmarie Waldrop has called "utterly enchanting--it's like nothing else."
