		Oz's opinions are notable for his belief that Palestinians' insistence on their own autonomy is a legitimate viewpoint, and that Israel can only survive and be strong if a peace is negotiated that...

	Amazon.com: Black Box (Vintage International): Books: Amos Oz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Oz (A Perfect Peace) orchestrates impressively distinct and multilayered voices in an ensuing correspondence whose participants vie for each others' forgiveness and affection and, as after a plane crash, analyze the contents of the "fl box" of Ilana and Alex's perverse relationship.
		Oz offers a brilliant treatment of the Israeli psyche as well as memorable characters who are fully realized individuals but also highly representative of the ethnic and political polarities of Israeli society.
		Oz is amazing in his transitions within characters (from mother, to wife, to sister, to woman) as well as between characters (from woman to man to derelict son to faithful yet money-starved lawyer).

		The decision to celebrate Oz is particularly disturbing since PEN claims that it "acts as a powerful voice in opposing political censorship and speaking for writers harassed, imprisoned, sometimes murdered, for the expression of their views".

	Amazon.com: A Tale of Love and Darkness: Books: Amos Oz,Nicholas de Lange (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Oz's personal trajectory is set against the background of an embattled Palestine during WWII, the jubilation after the U.N. vote to partition Palestine and create a Jewish state, the violence and deprivations of Israel's war of independence and the months-long Arab siege of Jerusalem.
		Oz describes what it was (and is) like to live in a country that, since its inception, has been constantly under threat; and he tells of the painful relationship between Arab and Jew.
		Obviously a huge achievement for Oz personally, this is also a huge contribution to the understanding of the growth of a Jewish homeland and to an understanding of how Oz became the writer he is. Much more detailed and leisurely than Oz's novels, this is slow but satisfying reading for those who admire his novels.

	Amos Oz, On Himself (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Oz is the only Israeli in the small group of writers — like Vaclav Havel, Nadine Gordimer and Salman Rushdie — who have become inextricably identified with human rights as well as with the history of their own country, and who speak to an international audience.
		Oz does not view this book, "A Tale of Love and Darkness," as a memoir and has noted that writing it was like "giving birth to an elephant." The 517-page tome is, in fact, elephantine, repetitive, sometimes heavy-handed — actually several books and stories in one.
		Ariyeh Klausner, according to his son, "utterly familiar with the Tosefta, the Midrashic literature, the religious poetry of the Jews of Spain, as well as Homer, Ovid, Babylonian poetry, Shakespeare, Goethe and Adam Mickievicz" was unable to obtain a university appointment and found work in the newspaper department of the National Library.
