A novel in three acts with overture, intermission, intermezzo and apotheosis. What if the boundary between dream and reality, past and present is just a convention, especially under the dazzling sun of an Israeli city? Vladimir Kanevsky's novel invites the reader on a journey where the familiar reality crumbles, giving way to a bizarre and fascinating phantasmagoria. In the center of the story is a kaleidoscope of the fates of Russian—speaking immigrants in Holon. Their daily worries, memories of their abandoned homeland and attempts to find themselves in a new world are bizarrely intertwined with irrational events, blurring the line between everyday drama and mystical vision. This is a story about the fragility of human memory and the fragility of the surrounding world. The main strength of the book lies in its unique atmosphere, where humor is juxtaposed with tragedy, and the prose of life takes on the features of a surreal carnival. Kanevsky masterfully creates a sense of constant tension and mystery, forcing the reader to doubt the reality of what is happening and look for hidden meanings in the most mundane things. "The White Sun of Holon" is a book for those who appreciate bold, non-trivial prose and are ready for intellectual riddles. It will especially appeal to readers who are familiar with magical realism and who are looking for precise, multifaceted questions about the nature of our existence rather than answers in literature.
