"In Shimon Adaf's sequel to One Mile and Two Days Before Sunset, Elish Ben Zaken has retired from investigating and taken up writing detective novels-but when a new case draws him to a town on the Israel-Gaza border, he faces an existential threat unlike any he's ever known"--
The book explores the unique backgrounds and literary journeys of Shimon Adaf and Lavie Tidhar, two prominent Israeli writers with contrasting upbringings. Tidhar's roots in a Zionist kibbutz and Adaf's religious Mizrahi family in Sderot shape their distinct perspectives.

Their works reflect a blend of personal experiences and broader societal themes.
