In a world full of hype, noise, and confusion, the simple lucidity of "The Same Sea" is totally unexpected. " New York Times Book Review" "The Same Sea" is Amos Oz s most adventurous and inventive book, a novel of lyrical beauty and narrative power. We meet the middle-aged Albert; his wife, whom he has lost to cancer; his prodigal son, who wanders the mountains of Tibet hoping to find himself; and his son s young girlfriend, with whom Albert becomes infatuated. The author himself receives phone calls from his creations, criticizing him for his portraits of them. A fever dream of chaos and order, love and eroticism, loyalty and betrayal. A prose poem . . . at once melancholic and sensual. " The New Yorker""
