What They’re Reading: Living in the Land of the Book
FOREIGN POLICY: What nonfiction books are Israelis reading?
David Ehrlich: Biographies of political leaders are a big field here. Israelis look at their political figures sort of as family members. I’m reading a new biography about [former Prime Minister] Shimon Peres by Michael BarZohar. It’s called Like a Phoenix, because of politicians’ and terrorists’ nature to rise back again and again into the center of the Israeli political scene.
