Literature and Fiction
Eve and Manny are engaged in post-civil war Israel. Eve
studies at the Hebrew University for Jewish Renewal, an
island of militant secularism in the religiously-run Shalem
State, while Manny is an unemployed graduate student with a
secret: he is falling in love with his religious roots and
turning his back on modern moral relativism. As their
wedding date approaches, Manny deserts Eve, then devastates
her a second time with the revelation that he has pre-empted
their wedding with a marriage to a new lifestyle. In the
midst of this betrayal, Eve collides with a pre-soul who has
had his out-of-this-world eyes on her all along. The
collision leaves Eve with a choice: reconcile with Manny or
else condemn a soul to never living. Now, more than a decade
later, the couple live with their three children off the Tel
Aviv Coast on the manmade Yovel Islands. But Eve’s uncanny
encounter has left a mark and she now has her own secret,
one that may save her only son’s life, or else tear her
family apart. King of the Class is a futuristic satire on
the toxic brew of religion and politics in modern Israel,
poking a playful finger at parental gold-digging and
technological dependence.
