20 years after the Six-Day War, the weekly "Utarat Rashat" initiated this soul-searching, "The Yellow Time", the result of seven feverish weeks of wanderings of Grossman, who speaks Arabic, in the West Bank, in refugee camps, in the military court, in settlements, cities and villages . The book is based on the 14 chapters that were first published in a special issue of the weekly (Independence Day, 1987), which caused a rare excitement in its dimensions. On them, new chapters were added, especially to the book (about a third of its scope). The dubbed reality here - which could be enjoyed as strong literature, if we weren't also its heroes - is a continuation of the perception of reality in Grossman's novel 'Smile of the Capricorn' seven years earlier.
