Quince

By Avshalom Kaveh

The quince was a cure-all to the ancients, but in Avshalom Kaveh’s twisted world, the fruit takes sides against our natural capacity to forgive and forget. This tragicomic story of angels and human devilry is Kaveh’s first publication in English. (Translated by Stephen Katz.)
