About SEE UNDER: LOVE
In this powerful novel by one of Israel's most prominent writers, Momik, the only child of Holocaust survivors, grows up in the shadow of his parents' history. Determined to exorcise the Nazi "beast" from their shattered lives and prepare for a second holocaust he knows is coming, Momik increasingly shields himself from all feeling and attachment. But through the stories his great-uncle tells him―the same stories he told the commandant of a Nazi concentration camp―Momik, too, becomes "infected with humanity." Grossman's fusing of vision, thought, and emotion make See Under: Love a luminously imaginative and profoundly affecting work.
About MIRI KUBOVY
Miri Kubovy teaches Cultural Studies, and Israeli literature and cinema at Hunter College. She was the director of Modern Hebrew Studies at Harvard and a Professor of Near Eastern Civilizations for 20 years, and she taught at Yale University for 17 years.

Agnon, on avant-garde Israeli poetry (Yona Wollach & Maya Bejerano), on David Grossman, on the young writers of the last 20 years - Etgar Keret, Orly Castel- Bloom, Sami Berdugo - and on post-modernism and post-Zionism. Professor Kubovy received the 1990 Yale University Excellence Teaching Prize, as one of the five best professors in the entire university, and she received 5 teaching prizes at Harvard as well.
