Maror – Israel’s history as an epic crime novel. With Lavie Tidhar and Sylvester Groth
“An epic work, thrilling but never moralizing. Lavie Tidhar is Israel’s answer to Don Winslow and James Ellroy”. Der Spiegel is not the only one to talk in grand terms about Lavie Tidhar’s thriller Maror. The book has recently been compared to the works of Balzac and Dickens – and rightly so. Tidhar tells the story of his homeland, Israel, framed as a dark crime epic. The narrative covers nearly four decades. It focuses on two corrupt police offers plus a whole lot of violence and unscrupulousness. Tidhar paints a kaleidoscopic panorama of political scandals, crimes and murder, at state level and in the private sphere. He has created an epic work of morals and realpolitik, a kind of Israeli chronique scandaleuse and a grim, dark-humored justification of the country’s right to exist. German text: Sylvester Groth; Host: Shelly Kupferberg
