I just picked up a new book of short stories from the bookstore yesterday, and I can’t seem to put it down. It’s called Arafat’s Elephant by Jonathan Tel, a particle physicist turned author. The stories all take place in Israel and tell of Jewish and Arab life in a fresh and carefully examined way. I read three stories yesterday, so should be done with it by the weekend.
