The course will consist of reading and interpreting Orly Castel-Bloom's work, while putting an emphasis on the interrelations between the different novels and short stories. Reading the novels will aim not merely at an interpretation, but rather at a description of the writer's unique finger-prints: her preferences in the various choices a writer makes, and the possible connections between these different preferences. We'll also read her texts through the perspective of minority intersection – a Mizrahi woman writing in a chauvenist, Ashkenazi, capitalist society.
