""For anyone who has wondered why it's always men tending meat on the grill, Harel provides an answer. Animals--in the slaughterhouse, on the table, in the house, and on the streets--define gender roles in modernist Hebrew literature. Riding a thrilling new wave of animal studies, Harel brilliantly reveals the hidden links among Jews, genders, and animals.""--Beth A. Berkowitz ""author of Animals and Animality in the Babylonian Talmud"" ""Harel's copiously researched and erudite book deftly examines the interrelation of Jewishness and animality in Modernist Hebrew literature. What emerges from her weaving together of ancient Judaic sources and contemporary gender and human-animal studies is a wonderfully syncretic and innovative analysis that elegantly, and importantly, fills a gap in this scholarship.""--Russell Samolsky ""associate professor in the Department of English, University of California, Santa Barbara""
