From the Jewish Book Council:
According to many critics, Maya Arad is the most accomplished Hebrew-language writer living outside of Israel, and perhaps one of the best Israeli novelists of her generation. Throughout her eleven novels and books of short fiction, she has created deeply affecting and often wrenching portraits of the foibles of contemporary society, particularly those of middle-class families and academia. So while it’s a little surprising that The Hebrew Teacher is the first to be translated into English, it surely won’t be the last. Composed of three novellas centered on three Israeli immigrants to the United States (each woman is in a different phase of their acculturation to the new society), and the families, friends, and colleagues surrounding them, this book is bristling with insights into the sharp divides between cultures, and between generations.
