The Tunnel by A.B. Yehoshua
4.0
I don't know if I actually "enjoyed it" enjoyed it, but I think Yehoshua is a good writer in subtle sneaky ways. I'm super uncomfortable reading about someone developing dementia, Zvi Luria is a crotchety old man, and I'm not sure the plot line about the tunnel construction project gels well with Zvi's personal drama...but I basically kept wanting to read on and see what was about to happen.
It's actually kinda masterful how the story makes you want to root for Zvi, for all his flaws, and go "See? He's fine!" and kinda gloss over his unfortunate habit of stumbling into mistakes.
