Further Up the Path

Presented bilingually with a new English translation by Man Booker Prize-winning translator Jessica Cohen, these brief fables by Israeli author Daniel Oz engage with vast concepts about human nature. The settings range from the fantastical (an imaginary village in a hidden valley) to the mundane (a traffic island), and the language feels ancient yet never antiquated. Full of timeless, open-ended parables, Further Up the Path offers no answers, moralizing, or conclusion: only an uneasy bewilderment with the paradoxes of the human--and animal--condition.
