Amos Oz discusses his book, “The Same Sea.” He explains that the novel contains several characters whose lives are intertwined. The plot is set in Israel and follows the character Albert, an accountant whose wife Nadia has died. Albert’s son Ricco is haunted by his mother’s memory, which he attempts to out run by exiling himself to Tibet. Meanwhile, Ricco’s girlfriend, Dita moves in with Albert who begins to lust after her. Oz discusses how all of the characters break down emotional and societal boundaries in their quest for peace and love. He goes on to explain that each character has their own narrative, which they gradually unfold for the reader. As they each strive for serenity and redemption, familial ties and bonds are broken and lives that were once separate begin to intersect.
