Rendition Conducive To Books Black Box

Like much of Amos Oz's work, Black Box is not about the story. Indeed, the book is built around the premise that unresolved childhood trauma brings disaster to all the people around when the child grows up, but in truth the book is all about people: dysfunctional people who hit, scream, beg, and blackmail, get divorced or separated, and still try to reunite with each other. As sides, the epistolary style of the book engages the reader in mind games (will I turn the pages and see who wrote this? will I recognize it from the writing style?), while the political and historical setting draw in. I absolutely loved this book!

Amos Oz transports us to a land full of sorrows, consequence of a failed marriage. In this place, created in his brilliantly written epistolary style, we face bitterness, disappointments, humiliations and even some cruelty engendered by words. In this apparently dry landscape, however, the author also presents us with understanding, compassion, and, above all, some remaining love, even after the painful divorce, even after whatever life has brought. An amazing piece of work of Amos Oz highly

How thin is this line between love and hate? And how things and feelings can change over the years depending on new situations in our everyday life? At least for me this was the main idea and wondering about these things while reading this novel by Amos Oz. A unique text written entirely in epistolary form. Letters exchanged mostly between an ex married couple, a lawyer of the man, a new husband of the woman and their son. Sounds confusing? Perhaps it does but it's not, very soon someone gets

I picked up this book with little enthusiasm. Based on the summary, I was convinced that I would not care for it. The GoodReads summary was as follows, examines the lives of a contemporary Israeli couple whose marriage has ended in disaster. My initial reaction was that sounds boring and depressing. Boy, was I wrong (about the boring part, it is not exactly uplifting). I loved this book. The Black Box is an epistolary novel told through a series of letters, memos, notes between a formerly

Absolutely loved it, it wa unbelievable! I am definetely a new fan of this author, he has a unique way of expressing the culture and the beliefs of different people when they are both alone and in a grop. I think it's a really good book, and the characters are really complicated. At least for me.

At first I thought this was a weaker novel than Oz's "My Michael". The form of the story told mainly through written letters the characters sent to one another felt clunky and inappropriate for the type of story Amos Oz it seemed was trying to tell. To an extent these initial failings still persist in the rating for the book. But, oddly enough, "Black Box" succeeds in areas where "My Michael" did not. The characters here feel more human, in that they not only fall but are simultaneously

There's nothing that annoys me more than having to give up on a book, especially when it comes recommended by someone who knows me very well, but I'm halfway through and I've had enough! I HATED Black Box.The story is told as a collection of letters, notes, telegrams, etc which illustrate the relationships between all the characters. I despised every one of them, a lot of the letters seemed way too contrived - therefore, implausible - and so the book failed miserably in keeping my interest.As I

Oz is a strong writer, he makes you feel the anger, the sensuality, the hatred and most masterfuly the tenderness of the characters lives told through their letters to each other. I really enjoyed reading this.
