Book Synopsis
“The most interesting and experimental novelist in Israel.”—Review Of Contemporary Fiction

Trade Review
"Hoffmann writes in a language of miracles." -- American Book Review
"A reason to celebrate...Hoffmann shows himself to be an artist of the profoundly fantastic." -- Hadassah Magazine
"A writer of international importance...Hoffmann refracts Jewish popular lore and folk wisdom through a postmodernist prism, brightening his prose with snatches of verse, songs, diary excerpts, letters, ominous dreams, lush erotic passages and Yiddish sayings." -- Publishers Weekly
"Part novel, part memoir, part neither, Curriculum Vitae is a frolicking dive into the self of the writer." -- Phillip Witte - Three Percent
"These bits and pieces of polished writing—like small, well-crafted gems—form a mosaic and give one a full portrait." -- Robert Leiter - Jewish Exponent
"A wise and delicate book." -- Yediot Aharonot
