Summary/Abstract: Review of : Writing in the Dark. Essays on Politics and Literature by David Grossman, Translated from Hebrew by Jessica Cohen, Ebook Bloomsbury Publishing, 2014 David Grossman, Israeli writer, does not deal with the trance-like process of inspiration, so well-revived in the Romantic age. On the contrary, as suggested by the title, he tries to find his meaning into the darkness in a way that this meaning communicates to all literary ages known to him. Grossman does not write against his father, but towards him. David Grossman has the opposite relationship with his own paterfamilias, who is unlike Kafka’s father..Literature is the common ground of father-son relationship.
