Review by Lea Goldberg of J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey, published in 1961. Twelve typewritten pages with handwritten notes and corrections, by Goldberg and Ephraim Broide, editor of Molad. Two of the pages feature full paragraphs in Goldberg's handwriting.
The review is titled BeShivhei HaGveret HaShmena (In Praise of the Fat Lady). Goldberg is referring to a story Zooey heard from their brother Seymour who used to tell him to shine his shoes before a live radio show. When Zooey pointed out that nobody sees his shoes on the radio, Seymour told him to do it for the 'Fat Lady,' an imaginary, lonely listener who deserves his best. Goldberg uses the fat lady as her starting point, sharply criticizing Salinger's prose and materials, comparing him, unfavorably to her preferred authors - Dostoyevsky, Thomas Mann, Nabokov, Herman Broch and others. The essay underlines the gap between Salinger's world, and the generation and culture it represents, and Goldberg's world.
The final version of the essay appears in a book of Goldberg's collected essays Mador UMeever - Bchinot UTeamim BaSifrut Haklalit, Sifriyat Hapoalim, 1977.
Good condition. Creases and folding lines.

Sixteen letters written by Egyptian-born Israeli essayist to Molad editor Ephraim Broide, between 1957 and 1967. Carbon copies of three replies by Broide are included, as well as a copy of a letter Broide wrote to her husband.
Kahanoff's letters, mostly in English, deal with essays Kahanoff sent for publication in Molad, including essays about Dimona, integration of Jews from Muslim countries in Israel, and Jean Gottman's book Megalopolis.
Egyptian born Jacqueline Kahanoff, (1917-1979), lived in Israel since the 1950s, wrote mostly about the West's condescension as to the East, arguing against the 'melting pot' approach of the Israeli estasblishment. Kahanoff believed that Israel's denial of its Levantine character, is one of the reasons for the hatred between the peoples of the region, and an obstacle to peace between Israel and its neighbors. Kahanoff was also a feminist, dealing widely with the plight of women in Arab society in particular and patriarchal, conservative societies in general. She died of cancer in 1979, and only years after her death did her ideas begin reemerging among Israeli intellectuals, bringing on an interest in her writings.
11 handwritten letters and 5 printed letters, signed. Various sizes and conditions. General condition: good.

The three poems were sent in 1958, with a letter in flowery style, which reveals arrogance behind an appearance of modesty.?Broide considered the poems very immature and wrote Sarid that 'if you wish to become a poet… you must write hundreds of verses each day, cross out many of them by yourself, show the best of them to those who understand and even then - not to publish them, but to grow, to understand, to gain knowledge, to look deeper, and then to learn much more, until you are able to write one good line…"

Three posters, two in Hebrew and one in English for productions of Hanoch Levin's classic play, Yaakobi & Leidental, directed by Levin and starring Zaharira Harifai, Yosef Carmon and Albert Cohen.
The first poster, designed by Cyla Menusy, features a large illustration of the female protagonist, with the two male characters heads underneath hers. The play is reffered to as "Yaakobi & Leidental (working title)", a co-production of the Cameri and Tzavta Theatres. This seems to be the earliest of the three posters.50x33 cm.
The two other posters, one in English and one in Hebrew, are based on the same design - a black and white photo of a scene from the play, with the title and credits on the top (on the right in the Hebrew, and on the left in the English poster). The words "working title" are omitted from the play's name, and Tzavta Theatre isn't mentioned. 48x33 cm.
The English poster is for one show at the [1980] Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it received the First Fringe Award. Apparently the play was staged again in 1980 with the same cast especially for the performance at the Festival. Unknown designer. 78x41 cm.
This is Levin's third play, and the first he directed.
Good to Very Good condition. The first poster has darkening of the paper and some staining, the third has small holes and damage to margins.
