New Israeli Novel Tackles Post-Israel Taboo

Launched on the 45th anniversary of Israel's Six Day War, 'Enfold Me,' a debut novel from Steven Greenberg, is the first serious Israeli fiction in three decades to be set in a tightly-conceived post-Israel Middle East.

Today, the 45th anniversary of Israel's 1967 Six Day War, debut author Steven Greenberg announced the release of his novel, Enfold Me. Set in a meticulously-created and chillingly-realistic post-Israel Middle East, Enfold Me is a story of personal loss, regional intrigue, and ex post facto national reckoning.

Elegantly written and with geopolitical and historical oversight from an Oxford-educated archaeologist, Enfold Me is gripping in its plot and groundbreaking in its dystopian premise. The book poses a question from which Israeli authors have typically shied away: what happens when modern Israel ceases to exist? Enfold Me takes this formerly-taboo scenario as a starting point, and builds an accessible and compelling story within it.

"Told from a distinctly pro-Israeli perspective, this book will serve to reiterate the dangers facing Israel by making them very real," said Steven Greenberg. "It's not wishful thinking that produced this novel, but rather a strong inclination for self-preservation."

Enfold Me - Plotline

Precipitated by a massive earthquake and an Iranian-led attack, the fall of Israel rips Daniel Blum from his suburban life and scientific career. Alone and scarred, he endures subjugation and terror in Hamas-controlled Northern Liberated Palestine.

Now, Daniel must follow George Farrah, a figure from his past, deep under the Carmel mountain and through Egyptian-controlled, quake-ravaged Tel Aviv. Haunted by tragedy, Daniel strains the bonds of duty and family as he and George uncover a secret that could alter the region's balance of power.

Enfold Me - Pre-Release Reader Reviews

"Beautiful. Eerie and thought provoking."

"...frighteningly plausible...I was gripped and there were many times where I really should have put it down sooner..."

"Dark, chilling - an uncomfortable read, but in a good way."
