The Black Box is a novel by the acclaimed Israeli author Amos Oz, originally published in Hebrew in 1987. This paperback edition, published by Debolsillo, offers a deep look into complex family relationships and personal conflicts through a series of letters. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and reconciliation in the context of Israeli society. Alec and Ilana have not spoken for seven years. The divorce has been very hard, the emotions, cruel. He has moved to the United States and has become famous for his studies on fanaticism; she has stayed in Israel and has remarried an Orthodox man. However, they have a son in common, Boaz, whom the father ignores as an offense to the mother. The young man is a restless teenager who has been expelled from school for his violent attitude. Ilana, after long years of silence, writes to Alec for help.
Amos Oz was an Israeli writer, novelist, journalist, and intellectual. He was also a professor of Hebrew literature at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. From 1967 onwards, Oz was a prominent advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
