Reviews

"[This book] provides a comprehensive critical overview of autobiographical works published in Hebrew, which engage with identity formation in a Jewish and Israeli Jewish context. . . [it] is not only of interest to scholars of Hebrew and Jewish studies but also to anyone interested in life-writing and the links between literature and identity more widely."-- "Journal of Modern Jewish Studies"
