Toward the end of the twentieth century, an unprecedented surge of writing altered
the Israeli literary scene in profound ways. As fresh creative voices and multiple
languages vied for recognition, diversity replaced consensus. Genres once accorded
lower status—such as the graphic novel and science fiction—gained readership and positive
critical notice. These trends ushered in not only the discovery and recovery of literary
works but also a major rethinking of literary history. In Since 1948, scholars consider
how recent voices have succeeded older ones and reverberated in concert with them;
how linguistic and geographical boundaries have blurred; how genres have shifted;
and how canon and competition have shaped Israeli culture. Charting surprising trajectories
of a vibrant, challenging, and dynamic literature, the contributors analyze texts
composed in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Arabic; by Jews and non-Jews; and by Israelis abroad
as well as writers in Israel. What emerges is a portrait of Israeli literature as
neither minor nor regional, but rather as transnational, multilingual, and worthy
of international attention. -- 4ème de couv.
