“I was bothered by the thought that my father was less intelligent than I was but even more troubled by the thought that he simply wasn’t aware of that fact. They say knowledge is power, and I desperately wanted a powerful father…” So begins a confrontation between the author and his father that erupts without warning, unfolds predictably but ends in a surprise. Zvika Rosenberg’s short stories are drawn from everyday life: they are about love and dreams, parents and children, men and women, and a snowstorm on Mount Hermon. The stories are funny, sometimes sarcastic and sometimes sad—like life itself.
