Reading Gur one is struck, first, by her obvious command of the genre, and, foremost, by her exemplary psychological insight. She knows how various and complicated anyone can be, as well as how the self can be hidden even from its ostensible owner, how the mask we wear displays or distorts reality. A revealing look behind self-delusion and role-playing. Gur provides pleasure of a very high order indeed....In Literary Murder, intellectual pursuit is portrayed with vigor and grace...it's so evidently central to Batya Gur's pleasure that we can't help making it our own. -- Newsday

Batya Gur (1947-2005) lived in Jerusalem, where she was a literary critic for Haaretz, Israel's most prestigious paper. She earned her master's in Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and she also taught literature for nearly twenty years.
