Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Amos Oz's masterpiece, The Black Box is an epistolary novel that tells the story of Alex, Ilana and Michel, in a love triangle filled with resentments. The purpose of this article is to understand how Oz explains the troubled Israeli society of the 1960s, with his book. Bringing allegories to themes such as religion, fanaticism, memory and ethnic issues, we decipher how Oz interprets the ruptures of a nation on the brink of social collapse.
