Professor Schiff's Guilt - Paperback

A darkly comic Israeli novel about a writer grappling with his country's relationship to slavery and his own unexpected connection.

Professor Schiff's Guilt is a novel of intellectual ambiguity. The protagonist is a writer in Israel confronting questions of national identity, history, and complicity. It refuses easy moral positions.

Faculty teaching contemporary world literature or Israeli fiction assign this. It is also the book for colleagues interested in how nations reckon with historical guilt.
