Der israelische Roman "Nicht": Wie eine Liebesgeschichte im Thriller endet
Summary
Israeli author Dore Shani discusses his new novel, which begins as a love story but evolves into a thriller reflecting the trauma of the October 7 attacks. He explores how pervasive regional violence inevitably influences literature, even when aiming for fictional escapism. Shani also addresses the silent boycott of Israeli writers in Europe and the US, distinguishing legitimate political criticism from antisemitism.
