Oz's beautiful\, tender mother\, a fter a\nlong depression\, committed suicide when Oz (born in 1939) was 12. \nBy the age of 14\, Oz was ready to flee his book-crammed\, dreary\,\ncla ustrophobic flat for the freedom and outdoor life of Kibbutz\nHulda.\n\nOz 's personal trajectory is set against the background of an\nembattled Pale stine during WWII\, the jubilation after the U.N. vote\nto partition Pales tine and create a Jewish state\, the violence and\ndeprivations of Israel' s war of independence and the months-long\nArab siege of Jerusalem.
