As Amanda Gruber, the matriarch of the family, undergoes an invasive cosmetic procedure, Lirit, her rebellious daughter, takes over operations at the family's pajama factory. Her brother Dael serves in the Israeli Army as a sniper, while Irad, their neglectful father, a genius scientist, travels to the United States to conduct research on flak jackets. Each family member is pulled in conflicting directions, forced to examine their contentious relationships to one another. With surprising humor, Textile details the gradual disintegration of a family strained by distance and the corrosive effects of militarism and consumerism" -- from publisher's web site. 650 0 $a Families $z Israel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Rich people $z Israel $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Israel $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Bilu, Dalya, $e translator. 830 0 $a Reuben/Rifkin Jewish women writers series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180118063557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59EB94E4BEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
