How to Cure a Fanatic

This little volume (4" x 6") ... is lucid, rational, and constructive... This small book embodies so much realism and optimism. -- Elizabeth R. Hayford, Library Journal The burning issues of the Arab-Israeli dispute are grist for Israeli novelist Amos Oz's slim volume, How to Cure a Fanatic, which is never less than thought-provoking. -- Canadian Jewish News Amos Oz sets out to wrest the conflict from its ideological and religious participants, from those on both sides whose symbiotic desire to elevate or sanctify the conflict renders it ever more immune to reasonable resolution. This is pursued in two short, gently-crafted essays. -- Ben Harris, Jewish Journal This pocket-size book is an important read. Whether you want to agree with him or rail against him, you can't ignore Oz. -- Suzi Brozman, Atlanta Jewish Times
