Reviews
"A. B. Yehoshua's fictions seldom collapse into the commonplace. They both honor the contract of realism and underwrite that contract with symbolic layers of meaning. His stories plausibly represent ordinary lives and at the same time astutely allegorize. Yehoshua's latest novel, his twelfth, confirms that no living Israeli writer accomplishes that dual feat with as casual a mastery. The Tunnel, flawlessly translated from the Hebrew by Stuart Schoffman, tells a story about memory and mercy." -- Haaretz "[ The Tunne l] is one of Yehoshua's most spryly amusing efforts . . . A quirky, deeply affecting work by a master storyteller." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "A warmhearted and subtly provocative novel . . . The symbolism is potent, and consistent with the politically outspoken Yehoshua's recent shift away from his prior advocacy for a two-state solution. Yet Yehoshua never allows politics to dominate . . . The story's heart lies in poignant domestic moments between Luria and his wife." -- Booklist " The Tunnel , a novel by venerable Israeli author A. B. Yehoshua, is a gentle fable about aging, marital love and understanding between two peoples in conflict . . . In Yehoshua's capable hands, what could have been a depressing account of decline instead becomes one that chooses optimism over despair . . . A tenderhearted story." -- Shelf Awareness "Tender, slow paced, humorous -- but at times also painful -- [ The Tunnel ] is a tale about deep love, memory and identity." -- Times of Israel " The Tunnel [is] one of [Yehoshua's] finest achievements . . . Clear, lean, sharp, carefully sculpted, fully controlled by the sure hand of an expert artist." -- Ha'aretz " The Tunnel is A. B. Yehoshua at his best." -- Yisrael Hayom, "A.B.

Now he is showing signs of early dementia, and his work on the tunnels of the Trans-Israel Highway is no longer possible. To keep his mind sharp, Zvi decides to take a job as the unpaid assistant to Asael Maimoni, a young engineer involved in a secret military project: a road to be built inside the massive Ramon Crater in the northern Negev Desert. The challenge of the road, however, is compounded by strange circumstances. Living secretly on the proposed route, amid ancient Nabatean ruins, is a Palestinian family under the protection of an enigmatic archaeological preservationist. Zvi rises to the occasion, proposing a tunnel that would not dislodge the family. But when his wife falls sick, circumstances begin to spiral . . . The Tunnel-- wry, wistful, and a tour de force of vital social commentary -- is Yehoshua at his finest., From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed Israeli author, a suspenseful and poignant story of a family coping with the sudden mental decline of their beloved husband and father--an engineer who they discover is involved in an ominous secret military project Until recently, Zvi Luria was a healthy man in his seventies, an engineer living in Tel Aviv with his wife, Dina, visiting with their two children whenever possible.
