Welcome to Litsy!

Martin said that imprecise words poison relations between people everywhere, and that's why clear, accurate words can heal those relationships, but only if they are the right words spoken in a language that all people can understand. Moshe Yashar said nothing, but thought that the sorrow in the world was born long before words.

I didn't want this book to end. Beautiful.

This collection of linked short stories about the people on a kibbutz in the 1950s is melancholy but lovely.

My book for 'O' for #LitsyAtoZ.

There's an undeniable pessimism in many of these stories about kibbutz life--despite communal intention, life can be isolating. Oz probes the good and bad about this ideology circa 1950s in straightforward interconnected pieces. "Little Boy" still sticks--cautionary tale about the lack of empathy.
