About

Café Nevo is a Tel Aviv gathering place for artists, politicians, lovers, and Bohemians-Arabs and Jews, young and old, conservative and radical. Nevo is presided over by Emmanual Sternholz, the waiter whose unblinking gaze takes in the tangled web of destinies and desires spun out around him. In this comic, tragic, and compelling mosaic of intertwined lives, Barbara Rogan has created a dazzling work of fiction-and a marvelously illuminating mirror of Israel in its pioneering heyday.
