The Book of Questions is the first of three volumes in Edmond Jabes's aphoristic narrative of a particularly Jewish interrogative mode of experience and its connection to how we live in the world. The style of the writing is a poetic pastiche, drawing upon Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah as well as to contemporaneous experimental writing.
