Below the surface of the streets of Tel Aviv lies another realm.

“Gripping.” “Dazzling.” “Masterpiece.”

In this book of moving, haunting and comical short stories, a kaleidoscopic shift in perspective unveils the soul of a city.

Mysticism, Jewish irony, tales of sadness and a wafting perfume of European sensuality mix with the grit of Middle Eastern sandstorms.

Silent streets come alive with the flow of music rising off instruments of impoverished Russian emigre virtuosos who play for no one.

A beggar tells the tale of his strange and grotesque history.

A young immigrant family confronts the fraught complexities of their new life over a simple bowl of soup.

An old woman, wizened and weathered, brings tears to the eyes with her floral profusion of blessings and thanks.

In these stories, Rindsberg offers entree to a Tel Aviv you’ll never find in the guide books. And, through this journey of the imagination, he’ll leave you looking at your own hometown with newly opened eyes.
