This first anthology of twentieth-century Israeli literature to feature the work of writers who were born in—or whose families originated from—the Levant, Turkey, Iran, India, and Arab worlds represents twenty-four authors whose concerns with cultural identity, race, class, gender, and political allegiances place their work alongside today's emerging rediscovered and reinvented Arab, African, Indian, African-American, and Caribbean traditions.

Keys to the Garden: New Israeli Writing
Brings a diverse Mizrahi literature into English. Mizrahi are, roughly, Israeli Jews with Levant roots. Read about 1/4 of the anthology. Would like to spend more time with Samir Naqqash, Yehezkel Kedmi, & Tikva Levi.
Kedmi in particular. He's got the kind of biography Don DeLillo would invent in explaining the object of study of an American academic: autodidact, sometimes homeless cook and dishwasher in Jerusalem:
"if only the moon had fallen to the ground so you couldn't see your way to Jerusalem to the earth
of the Land of Israel and you would have gone every which way the wind blew except
in the direction of the wind leading to the city of Jerusalem
had even the Land our Land the Land of Israel the Land of Abraham Isaac and Jacob been conquered by the Nations
the land of our ancestors the land of the Jews and had they established in this Land holy to us a sovereign Arab land ruling over us
had even such a disaster taken place it would have been preferable to me and to you had such a thing as this
happened to my father for a disaster befalling our nation would be better than the disaster me and my father went through"
I dunno what I expected to find. But this certainly complicated it.
