Excerpt
Josef K. Zohar's The Seventh Beggar: Notes from Prison Cells (2024) is an extraordinary, chilling text. This memoir skillfully weaves personal experience, philosophical analysis, and legal analysis while recounting Zohar's gruesome path through the Israeli justice system. More than an account of Zohar's legal and personal struggles, it tackles universal themes of justice, identity, family loyalty, and resistance. It exposes the systemic flaws of the legal system while celebrating the hopefulness of belief and storytelling.
