AQUARIUM by Yaara Shehori
Yaara Shehori’s AQUARIUM received a rave from the Jewish Book Council. The reviewer writes: “In her hauntingly surreal debut novel translated from Hebrew, Yaara Shehori questions what it means to hear when hearing is a perpetual source of silence and othering…AQUARIUM ultimately offers a fear-less translation of the elusiveness of human experience, illuminating those rare moments of being that escape our preconception of beauty, even if they can’t be clearly understood the instant they pass through us.” Farrar, Straus, and Giroux published the book on April 13, 2021.
