British playwright Harold Pinter and his then girlfriend Lady Antonia Fraser visited Israel in May, 1978 to celebrate the country's 30th anniversary. As it happens, I was working on a kibbutz in Israel that year and eagerly followed Pinter's trip in the English language newspaper, The Jerusalem Post. When I recently learned that Fraser kept a diary during their trip and that it was going to be published, I knew I had to review it. Happily, my review has now appeared in the perfect place, the winter issue of the Jewish Review of Books, under the apt title "The Homecoming." I invite you to enjoy it here:
