Winner of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature
Confident, original and humane, the stories in The Best Place on Earth are peopled with characters at the crossroads of nationalities, religions and communities: expatriates, travellers, immigrants and locals.
In the powerfully affecting opening story, "Tikkun," a chance meeting between a man and his former lover carries them through near tragedy and into unexpected peace. In "Casualties," Tsabari takes us into the military-a world every Israeli knows all too well-with a brusque, sexy young female soldier who forges medical leave forms to make ends meet. Poets, soldiers, siblings and dissenters, the protagonists here are mostly Israelis of Mizrahi background (Jews of Middle Eastern and North African descent), whose stories have rarely been told in literature. In illustrating the lives of those whose identities swing from fiercely patriotic to powerfully global, The Best Place on Earth explores Israeli history as it illuminates the tenuous connections-forged, frayed and occasionally destroyed-between cultures, between generations and across the gulf of transformation and loss.
Her first book, The Best Place on Earth, won the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature and the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish Fiction. It was named a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice book and was a Kirkus Review Best Debut Fiction of 2016 title. It was also nominated for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award.
