Abstract
In this epic saga of the Middle East in its perpetual crisis, a continuation of Simon Louvish's BLOK trilogy by other means, past and present collide against the backdrop of the civil wars of the 1980s in Lebanon and the Gulf War of 1991. While the dead crusader, Richard the Lionheart, rises from his grave in France to join the ranks of the journalists gathering in Saudi Arabia for the war of Bush versus Saddam Hussein—in Israel, Baruch Blok, father of lunatic-turned-therapist Avram Blok, exiled from Jerusalem with his ailing wife, Rosa, to the co-operative farm of Kfar Pippin, reads the gruesome details of the Iraqi nerve gas arsenal.
