title = "The Frigid Option: A Psychocultural Study Of The Novel Love Life by Zeruya Shalev",
abstract = "Why some books receive a warm and long-lasting embrace by readers while others get a cool reception is one of the mysteries of the literary world. The answer to this fascinating question varies from case to case. However, one can say with some caution that a book that is widely and enthusiastically received usually responds to a central psychocultural need of its time with an original, surprising, and accessible rendition of a familiar story. Love Life, by Zeruya Shalev, is an outstanding example of this psychocultural phenomenon, in that it examines anew two familiar stories.",
