Description
Within months of its publication in Israel, The Name was heralded by critics and scholars alike, who compared its author to such writers as Dostoevsky, Gogol, Gide, and Beckett. The novel – a story of one woman’s embrace of mystical Judaism and parallel descent into madness – was later awarded one of the country’s most prestigious literary prizes, establishing Michal Govrin as a singular new voice in world literature.
