by Atar Hadari (Author)
There've always been questions about Arik.
As far back as '52 when a night patrol
Spotted figures crossing the sand dunes.
Arik told his men to open fire, ask questions later.
A poetic exploration of Ariel "Arik" Sharon might sound counterintuitive, like an oxymoron.
And true, much of the monologue that Atar Hadari presents us with reads more like spoken history - yet with a deliberate creative twist.
Like poetry, these vignettes about Sharon's military career and private milestones may not answer all the questions a reader might have. But, like poetry, they stir up emotions, push buttons, confirm - or maybe shake up - opinions and beliefs as they sketch a rich and agitating portrait of a divisive and contentious figure in Israeli politics.
