Abstract

For two journals that have only been established in the last decade, Ilanot Review and Granta Hebrew pack a century’s worth of grief and wisdom into their awe-inspiring collaborative issue for Fall 2019. This collaboration, published under the title The Ilanot Review: The Collaborative Issue, represents a break from routine for both journals, as The Ilanot Review is known for its compelling thematic issues and Granta Hebrew for its Hebrew and Arabic extension of the illustrious London-based Granta—the Magazine of New Writing. The editors have compiled a brilliant whirlwind of poetry, prose, and memoir that pulls pieces from the earliest archives of Granta Hebrew, resulting in an issue that is outstanding for its ability to express facets of the Israeli experience. Seek out this magazine wherever you can find it; come for the aching prose pieces about individual culture clashes and identity crises, and stay for the poetry cataloguing the pain and beauty of Israeli history. This magazine is a beautiful example of the wonder that can happen when two modern journals join forces, and I’m here for every word of it.
