WRITING FROM ISRAEL
Zygmunt Frankel
SHORT STORIES - a collection of thirty-two, ranging from single-page "mini-stories" to short novels.
COLLECTED POEMS - with notes by the author.
THE SHARK REEF - A Thriller. Skindiving among the corals of the Red Sea. A shark attack or an assassination? Israelis, Bedouin, terrorists, the Secret Service, an old, slightly mad, Nazi hunter, and two beautiful women.
THE DIARY OF A DELICIOUSLY PLUMP WOMAN - A Novel. The diary of a young Polish woman, married shortly before The Second World War, spanning the outbreak of the war, the German occupation and liberation.
OEDIPUS - A Play. Their legend completed, Oedipus, Iocasta, Laius, Tiresias, and the Sphinx, as well as Apollo himself and a curious little man with a notebook, meet to discuss some comparatively neglected aspects of the story: incest, sexual politics, fate, the shape of a Sphinx's wings, psychology, prophecy, and plagues.
THE MOTHER OF LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD - A Play. This is the sequence, for grown-ups, to a factual tragedy which had been turned into a fairy tale: the trial of Little Red Riding Hood's mother for criminal negligence.
SIBERIAN DIARY - An autobiography. It is a part of the neglected story of thousands of families deported by the Russians from Eastern Poland in 1940. In spite of constant hunger, freezing winters, his father's absence, and the handicap of being skinny and Jewish, the author also had fishing, skiing, high school, Russian literature and songs, first loves and even parachute jumps from a small two-seater biplane at the local aeroclub.
ART GALLERY - Oils, woodcut prints, watercolors and more.
