Between life and life

In many ways, this book is a miracle. A miracle that can only exist in the literary space. The literary space was created by inventing an imaginary time, in a unique way with a personal voice and personal expression. Hereafter, "the style". To sum up in a few words a plot that is fed to such an extent by its style, it is said that "between life and life" is a construction of personal memory; family; emotional; periodic; multinational; and cultural. A construction of tone and tone, the invention of a third, liminal space, between people, between life and life. As in the theater, the greatness of the novel lies in placing its actors on the stage. In the case before us, a man who is no longer there, staying in an unknown place and dimension, speaks to his wife and tells her story that goes back and forth in time. He follows her being, criticizes, describes, laughs with her, loves her. In the immediate tension created between the characters - when one lives on Earth and the other who knows where - Esther Orner builds a wonderful and microcosmic chamber work, a hymn to literature. There are great writers among us who have not received the respect and recognition they deserve, perhaps because their writing language is not Hebrew. It's time to read them and learn from them.
