Richly told tales based on figures and events from contemporary life and the Jewish story-telling tradition.Reminiscent of biblical stories, oral histories, and the work of Isaac Bashevis Singer, Luban’s stories illuminate the history and the complexities of the Jewish experience, with settings in ancient Samaria, in Poland, in the concentration camps and in the settlements of the modern-day West Bank. With the reader, they encounter reincarnations, visitors from the stars, seductions, and the lure of hidden treasures.
