| One can view the celestial sky as a gathering of gasses lit by the suicidal moment when a planet dies. Or one can view the sky as a mystical firmanent, a shining bed of stars awaiting your heartfelt wishes, if only to spend the rest of the evening trying to fulfill your requests. Oz is a good writer, I have read his books and enjoyed two of them. What is important when reading books of fiction or biographies through the eyes of the writer, is the power of going with and creating the future and the past. The writer creates a moment in history and produces events and conversation which fulfill his/her demands. In this case Oz wishes peace. He then creates a situation and a set of conversations which fit his plan. He reinvents Hamas, creating a fictitous world in which Hamas thoroughly honors cease-fires. he should talk to Abbas about this one. He re-creates Camp David and Taba, as if the Pals accepted the plan, which they did not. Oz chooses whimsy over reality. |
