		Whittemore obviously knew first-hand what is described in the novel as “the controlled schizophrenia of a deep-cover agent.” Unlike Eli Cohen, who was active for only five years, Halim’s double life continues for over twenty.
		In Jerusalem Whittemore follows the lives of Tajar, “the grand rabbi of espionage,” Anna and her son Assaf (who is also Yossi’s son), and through their eyes the reader witnesses the Six Day War of June 1967, a dramatic account of the Israeli victory over the united Arab armies.
		Whittemore provides a short history of the region, describing the origins of the PLO and their subsequent involvement with the KGB, the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and the civil war in Lebanon in the 1970s and ’80s.

		Whittemore appears uncertain whether he is writing fiction or political commentary, and the nonchronological narrative only adds to the confusion.
		Whittemore lived in and loved the Holy Land and his descriptions of Jericho and Jerusalem are delicious.
		The best way to summarize this book and Whittemore himself, is to borrow Paul Auster's quote about Delillo,"To read him is to figure out what it means to be alive in the late 20th century." Though his books cover 150-200 years, they completely mirror our times.

	Locus Online: Review by Jeff VanderMeer
		After attending Yale University, Whittemore served as a Marine officer in Japan and "spent 10 years as a CIA operative in the Far East, Europe, and the Middle East," as the biography on the back of the Old Earth editions reads.
		Further, the changes in Whittemore's work mean that in an odd way the books encompass the entire literary spectrum, from the fantastical to the realistic, while retaining their intra-book cohesion.
		Whittemore's CIA experience is even more palpable in this book as we are initiated into the rituals and the dangers of such work.

		In 1990, Whittemore was elected to the bench of the Hillsborough County Circuit Court in the Florida Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, and remained on the court until 2000.

		And it seems quite appropriate that Whittemore's novel should have both a big ending (involving a nation) and a small one (involving an individual), for the novel as a whole is about both big things and little things.
		This is a book that chooses all the grand specialist subjects - the millennial sweep of history, the pains and pleasure of human endeavour, love, friendship - and does justice to them all.
		Whittemore has given us a narrator - in turns humorous, satirical, and reverent, as required - every bit the equal of his narrative.

		Whittemore is writing for the long haul, and what may look like a singular book on the surface is obviously only part of the whole.
		Whittemore's trademark method of interweaving the background of his characters while continuing an overall plot puts all these characters in touch with each other, sometimes working together, sometimes at ends.
		The details and some sections here are as good as anything I've ever read, but the novel didn't congeal for me, and I was disappointed.

	AGNI \| Memoir \| 55 \| 'An Editorial Relationship' by Judy Karasik
		This is the kind of magical coincidence that populates the novels of Edward Whittemore, and it seemed strangely appropriate that our domestic routines were performed in locations that were exactly parallel, yet existed a precise and unbreachable distance apart, as though we were two matching magnets with the contrary ends facing one another.
		The Whittemore family home was big and rambling; late afternoons, we sat on white Adirondack chairs on the great lawn, sloping into a meadow, and watched the young girls from the dancing school down the road mince like birds into the middle of town, to buy their sweets.
		Her name was Sister Sally and she was unlike any of his other characters; the man with whom she has a brief love affair, Billy the Kid, however, resembled characters in the earlier books and also resembled Ted.

		Whittemore's name kept popping up for me--Rick Kleffel's mentioned him on one listserv, he was mentioned on Rondua, someone else sent me a note about him--so I went on a fact-finding mission, searching the Internet for information about this elusive author.
		This was part one of the article, with only five authors covered (Paul Auster, Angela Carter, Nick Cave, Steve Erickson, and Edward Whittemore).
		If "The Sinai Tapestry" suite is as good as this novel, Whittemore is definitely unjustly neglected, and should be reprinted.

		But if the reader resigns himself to the remarkable fact that this elephantine farce will move through five decades of Asian para-history without at any point touching ground or making the slightest sense, there is a lot of dizzy fun in the book.
		Edward Whittemore is more an engaging long-distance liar than a novelist, and his scheme for persuading literature to lurch forward is simply to introduce another freakish impossibility whenever reason's vague outline is sighted through the fog.
		Whittemore is a first novelist, age 41, an ex-Marine who learned Japanese as a Foreign Service officer in the Far East.

		JP is the second in Whittemore's Middle East quartet but can stand (magnificently) alone.
		Whittemore's real main character is the city of Jerusalem itself, faithfully defended throughout all the years of its existence by poor gentle old Haj Harun in his faded yellow cloak and rusty Crusader helmet, usually ignored, often reviled and always befuddled about which of Jerusalem's many attackers he is currently facing.
