Author Description

"The Wall, Etc., is a collection of eighteen powerfully written stories, some of which are based on true events. Hamutal Bar-Yosef creates in The Wall, Etc., a tragicomic, sometimes grotesque slice-of-life narrative that portrays the human condition as the yawning abyss between desires and reality. She expresses great empathy and respect for the characters she depicts, and she enters their inner worlds with a breathtaking sensitivity."--Page 4 of cover.
