Balm in Gilead - Salves from the Souk of Imagination

by Clifford Lawrence Meth (Editor), Neal Adams, Mary Wolfman

The Stories and art in this volume of whimsey share one important element. All were generously contributed in an effort to aid the victims of terror in northern Israel. Many of these artists are the leading voices of their respective genres-their politics and points of view vary sufficiently to create a stout dialogue. The result of their joining is BALM IN GILEAD, a delicious anthology of artistic speculations and meditations that, despite theological nuances, move beyond the boundaries of culture to join in a single voice of hope.

[Meran · Rating 4 out of 5]

The stories in this book are varied; most were reprinted for this edition.

All were excellent reads on the subject of war and what war can do to the population involved. All were also hopeful. The proceeds from the sale of the book go to The Heart and Soul Organization in Safed, Israel.

Jewish science fiction. the book was a fund raiser for victims of bombings in Israel. (i bought my copy used) there is a four or five page comic story explaining what the book commemorates, the story could have been written from the Palestinian point of view w/few changes.
