In seinem neuen Buch kehrt Amos Oz zu der Zeit zurück, die ihn am meisten inspiriert hat: seine Kibbuz-Jahre. Im fiktiven Kibbuz Ikhat zeichnen die Erzählungen Porträts von Frauen und Männern, die ihren ganz eigenen Träumen und ihrem eigenen Schmerz nachhängen - immer im Schatten des großen Traums vom Kollektiv. Geschichten, die von der Einsamkeit in einer Gesellschaft erzählen, in der kein Raum für Einsamkeit war.

"Wo die Schakale heulen" ist eine Geschichtensammlung, die den Hörer vom ersten Wort an packt, ihn die Spannung und atmosphärische Dichte fühlen lässt, das ganz besondere Klima, das seit der Gründung Israels über diesem Staat schwebt. Einige Erzählungen handeln von der Liebe, andere vom Hass. Und oft vermischen sich diese beiden Gefühle, die so alt sind wie die Menschheit, und rufen Konflikte hervor, die kaum auszuhalten sind und für die es keine Lösung zu geben scheint. Amos Oz konfrontiert den Hörer mit Fragen, die so aktuell und drängend sind wie zur Zeit ihrer Entstehung.

He leaves the constraints of the family and the community of dreamers, scholars, and failed businessmen to join a kibbutz.
