Shimon Adaf and Lavie Tidhar\'s\\xa0new book, Art & War: Poetry, Pulp and Politics in Israeli Fiction, is a dialogue about their approach to writing the fantastic, writing about Israel and Palestine, about Judaism, about the Holocaust, about childhoods and their end.

What is especially exciting is that this book extends the conversation even into their own fiction--and the book ends with two new short stories \\u2013 Tutim by Tidhar, and Third Attribute by Adaf \\u2013 in which each appears as a character in the other\\u2019s tale.

This week and next, Marcela reads selections from each of their dialogues and then their fiction.
