The Retrospective

A New York Times Book Review Editors? Choice
Winner, 2012 Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger


?The greatest Hebrew novelist.? ? Jewish Review of Books

An aging Israeli film director has been invited to the pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela for a retrospective of his work. When Yair Moses arrives, a painting over his bed triggers a distant memory from one of his early films: a scene that caused a rift with his brilliant but difficult screenwriter. Upon his return to Israel, Moses decides to travel to the south to look for his elusive former partner and propose a new collaboration. But the screenwriter demands a price for it that will have strange and lasting consequences.

A searching and original novel by one of the world?s most esteemed writers, The Retrospective is a meditation on mortality and intimacy, on the limits of memory and the struggle of artistic creation.

?[The Retrospective] moved me deeply.? ? Vivian Gornick, The Nation

?[Yehoshua] achieves an autumnal tone as he ruminates on memory?s slippery hold on life and on art.? ? The New Yorker
