Review
A New York Times Editors' Choice
"[A] magnificent novel… Oz pitches the book's heartbreak and humanism perfectly from first page to last, as befits a writer who understands how vital a political role a novelist can play."—The New York Times Book Review
"In this novel of nineteen-sixties Jerusalem, Shmuel Ash, lovelorn graduate student and lukewarm socialist, abandons his thesis ('Jewish Views of Jesus') to care for a frail, elderly Zionist living in a funeral villa. There he meets a cynical beauty who lost both her father and husband in the mid-century wars, backroom and battlefield, that defined the contours of Israeli statehood. The novel has a clear message; as Shmuel says, 'All the power in the world cannot transform someone who hates you into someone who likes you.' But Oz tempers this didactic edge by making Shmuel a hapless figure—with walking stick, inhalers, and baby-powdered beard—unimpressive to the aristocratic recluses he's stumbled among."—The New Yorker, "Briefly Noted"
"A novel of ideas...Beautifully translated by Nicholas de Lange."—New York Review of Books
"Even an�annus horribilis�can be redeemed if it contains a new Amos Oz novel."—The Forward
"An intellectual biography of Judas, a tender narrative of love and heartbreak, and a thoughtful consideration of the stakes and limits of Israeli politics.”—The Christian Century
"Oz’s prose, as captured in English by de Lange, illuminates an exquisite coming-of-age romance that also manages to comment on the origins of Zionism, the perception of the Israeli left and what it truly means to be a traitor."—Jewish Telegraphic Agency
"Like Oz's nonfiction "A Tale of Love and Darkness," "Judas" grapples with big, historical matters for which there are no simple answers: the founding of Israel and the founding of Christianity. Both remain rich subjects to explore today."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch,�"Best Books of 2016"
"A scintillating novel...Many-layered, thought-provoking and – in its love story – delicate as a chrysalis, this is an old-fashioned novel of ideas that is strikingly and compellingly modern."—Observer
“Oz has written one of the most triumphant novels of his career.”—The Forward
“Judas is a vibrant specimen of a nearly extinct species, the novel of ideas...A fascinating coming-of-age story."—San Francisco Chronicle
"The novel gives a finely vivid and sympathetic picture of a Jerusalem (and an Israel) that has largely disappeared…This book is compassionate as well as painfully provocative, a contribution to some sort of deeper listening to the dissonances emerging from deep within the politics and theology of Israel and Palestine.”—New Statesman
“A very absorbing addition to [Oz’s] remarkable oeuvre.”—The Guardian
�
“A masterpiece: command of the word, mastery of construct, the ability to stimulate all the senses of the reader.”—La Repubblica
“Challenging, complex and strangely compelling… The ideas at the novel’s centre have great vitality and force. The philosophical passages bristle with linguistic energy…vividly conveyed in Nicholas de Lange’s translation.”—Spectator
�
"A [big] beautiful novel...Funny, wise, and provoking."—The Times�
“JUDAS is a great novel that only Oz could have written…perhaps his finest work. Whether or not it is his swansong, it should win Amos Oz the ultimate accolade.”—Standpoint Magazine
"After almost two dozen books that track changes in both heart and state with untiring strength and subtlety, the Israeli master has delivered one of the boldest of all his works...Nicholas de Lange, Oz's distinguished translator, steers these virtuoso transitions between debate and domesticity with unerring skill...Oz can imagine, and inhabit, treachery of every stripe. But he keeps faith with the art of fiction."—Financial Times
"[It is] rich in material to grapple with. Oz engages with urgent questions while retaining his right as a novelist to fight shy of answers: it's a mark of his achievement that the result isn't frustrating but tantalising."—Daily Telegraph
"Earnestly bedded in Israeli history and politics, Oz's novel fights to suggest that sometimes the so-called traitors might be heroes."—Sunday Times
"Mingling with compassion and provocation as Oz explores betrayal, war and desire…He’ll no doubt be overlooked for the Nobel Prize yet again next month – this novel shows just how ludicrous that is."—Mail on Sunday
"Through the story of one young man at a crossroads, Oz presents thought-provoking ideas about traitors, a moving lament for the cost of Israeli-Arab conflict, and a heartfelt call for compassion."—Publishers Weekly
"Oz �widely considered Israel's greatest living writer...is the equal of Kundera in depicting the kind of love that is accompanied more by sighs of impatience and reproval than of desire satisfied.�Lovely, though with a doleful view of the possibilities of peace, love, and understanding, whether among nations or within households."—Kirkus

From the Back Cover
Praise for Amos Oz
A writer of revelatory genius. Guardian
The mind is a place Oz explores masterfully in all its contradiction, texture, and heartache. New York Daily News
Once the eye falls upon Amos Oz s rich prose, the other senses quickly succumb, because, like everything Oz, all things are plural, even the telling of a single man s story. Seattle Times
The glow [of Oz s writing] . . . comes from the spare and unsentimental warmth of his own voice, his feeling for atmosphere, and his gallery of colorful misfits and individualists caught in communal enterprises. New York Times Book Review
[Oz] is a peerless, imaginative chronicler of his country s inner and outer transformations. Independent

There's a good story buried in here
By Stuart M. Wilder
This is the first Amos Oz novel I was able to finish. Though I enjoy his collections of stories and I tore through A Tale of Love and Darkness, I find a ponderous pace to his novels that makes reading them like wading through molasses, time for which is a luxury I do not possess. Without the Kindle and Whispersynced audio version and a long holiday weekend outwardly devoted to the mindless task of raking leaves I could not have completed this book, which devotes too much time to the washing of dishes, dish by dish, and the spoon feeding of a elderly man, spoon by spoon, between the plot and discourses that held my attention. Anyone who gets through this book will be rewarded by insights and and a thoughtful review of history and current issues that is not available from reading even the best regarded news outlets, but I fear far fewer than should will because an editor could not say to Mr. Oz about his many deconstructions of the routines of daily life, "Enough, already!"

A minority view of Middle East History
By Jerry Woolpy
Review of Judas by Amos Oz, reviewed by Jerry Woolpy
What if the losers wrote minority opinions on history? Judas is historical fiction to this effect. Jesus was a prophetic Jew peaching in the Galilee, as we all know. Judas, also Jewish, was a true believer in Jesus, who wanted to expand Jesus’ horizons to the cultural center in Jerusalem. Ben Gurion was blind to the inevitable future of armed conflict with the vast Arab majority in the Middle East. And so Jews have suffered, Christians have suffered, Muslims of suffered, lands have been fought over, and people have been persecuted unmercifully. Amos Oz has created three fictional characters who review what happened and speculate how it could have been different. Oz lived through the history in question in 1959 and so did I. The book is of interest because it is a good story narrated by an ABD grad student who studied the history of Jews and Christians starting with Judah. He gives up on his thesis and joins two woe begotten Israelis who got the brunt of this history. Though Netanyahu and Putin are not mentioned in the book, Bibi was 10 and Vladimir was 7 at the time, their ruthless characters are reflected in what happened and are part of the endless conflict that continues today.

A troubling read for troubled times
By Shel
Judas is a deep intellectual discourse on the realization of the Zionist vision at one level. The three living characters inhabit a real and metaphorical house on the edge of the pre six day war divided Jerusalem. Having lived there at that time, and written a novel about it, I can attest to its powerful depiction by Oz. Two of the characters cling to the Ben Gurion line. The other adheres to her father's view that a unique Jewish state was an existential error. A revisionist view of Judas, as Jesus' only true disciple, is woven into the story. All three characters are deftly drawn and memorable. Like the house they exist on the tenuous border of their Society. Sheldon Greene,latest novel, The Seed Apple
