Book of Intimate Grammar

"This stunning new novel by the Israeli writer David Grossman belongs in the pantheon of great books that feature a definitively post-Freudian child as the protagonist....Despite its narrow domestic focus, 'The Book of Intimate Grammar' is rich and dense, full of startling perceptions and dark, ironic wit. It is a complex book containing multiple layers of meaning. It can be read, at once, as a tale of magic realism, a parable about the damage left in the wake of the Holocaust, a psychological portrait of a child's descent into madness and, finally, as a comical but searing indictment of the Jewish family.Grossman, David is the author of 'Book of Intimate Grammar', published 2002 under ISBN 9780312420956 and ISBN 0312420951.
