"Wo die Schakale heulen" ist eine Geschichtensammlung, die den Hörer vom ersten Wort an packt, ihn die Spannung und atmosphärische Dichte fühlen lässt, das ganz besondere Klima, das seit der Gründung Israels über diesem Staat schwebt.

Und oft vermischen sich diese beiden Gefühle, die so alt sind wie die Menschheit, und rufen Konflikte hervor, die kaum auszuhalten sind und für die es keine Lösung zu geben scheint. Amos Oz konfrontiert den Hörer mit Fragen, die so aktuell und drängend sind wie zur Zeit ihrer Entstehung.
