"I didn't start off to write a book that
showed me at my most fallible, psy-
chologically and emotionally," said
Koenig in a recent interview, "[but] I
had a need to let the reader know who
I was."

Murder in the Name of
God, by Michael

Karpin and Ina
Friedman
(Metropolitan Books; $24.95), is an
effort by two Israeli journalists to
investigate and re-create the religious
and political atmosphere that made
Yitzhak Rabin's assassination a virtual
inevitability. Karpin and Friedman
base their investigation on extensive
research that includes an interview
with the assassin, Yigal Amir. In addi-
tion to the extremist rabbis who put
out a "contract" on Rabin's life; the
right-wing politicians who conducted
a campaign to discredit and destroy
- him; militant settlers who saw the
Oslo Accords as a betrayal; and a secu-
rity force that failed to protect Rabin
despite an assassin who was extremely
vocal about his plans, the authors
indict extensive American support —
both ideological and financial — for
the movement that produced the
prime minister's killer.

The Oxford Book of
Jewish Stories, edited

by Ilan Stavans
(Oxford University
Press; $30), comprises a dazzling
anthology of Jewish stories. More than
50 of the best Jewish writers from
around the world, dating from the
mid-1800s to the present and encom-
passing the full spectrum of Jewish
writing around the world, are included
in this collection. Readers will find
Sholem Aleichem's "A Yom Kippur
Scandal," Franz Kafka's "Before the
Law," Saul Bellow's "Looking for Mr.
Green," I.B. Singer's "The Spinoza of
Market Street," Bernard Malamud's
"Angel Levine" and Grace Paley's
"Midrash on Happiness." Tales from
diverse American authors, Delmore
Schwartz, Cynthia Ozick, Stanley
Elkin, Allegra Goodman and Philip
Roth, to name just some, and pieces
from writers around the globe, among
them, Isaac Babel, Italo Svevo, Elias
Canetti and Amos Oz, round out the
collection. Their themes include anti-
Semitism, the Holocaust, domestic
affairs, biblical subjects and interreli-
gious and ethnic relations, as well as
the Diaspora and mysticism. As the late
Yiddish literary critic Ba'al Makshoves
once observed, Jews have many lan-
guages but only one literature.
