Lions Honey: The Myth of Samson by David Grossman

Lions Honey: The Myth of Samson by David Grossman

There are few other Bible stories with so much drama and action, narrative fireworks and raw emotion, as we find in the account of Samson: the battle with the lion; the three hundred burning foxes; the women he bedded and the one woman that he loved; his betrayal by all the women in his life, from his mother to Delilah; and, in the end, his murderous suicide, when he brought the house down on himself and three thousand Philistines. "Yet, beyond the wild impulsiveness, the chaos, the din, we can make out a life narrative that is, at bottom, the tortured path of a single, lonely and turbulent soul who never found, anywhere, a true home in the world, whose very body was a harsh place of exile. For me, this discovery, this recognition, is the point at which the myth — for all its grand images, its larger-than-life adventures — slips silently into the day-to-day existence of each of us, into our most private moments, our buried insights." — from David Grossman's introduction to Lion's Honey.
