A City and Mother
Item
Abstract
This feuilleton brings together the young city of Tel Aviv, the young writer Natan Alterman, and the young genre of the feuilleton in modern Hebrew. The youthfulness of all three charges the text with energy, with a sense of open horizons, a plethora of opportunities, and a carnival spirit. Its vivid lyrical sketch of the city moves from the real to the symbolic and back again, thriving on the tensions between dream and reality.
