The profound literary and existential bond between Nobel laureate S.Y. Agnon and Amos Oz reveals how trauma and religious tension shape modern Jewish writing. Through Oz's autobiographical "A Tale of Love and Darkness," a complex pattern of influence emerges where Agnon's presence permeates Oz's work across stylistic, thematic, and existential dimensions. Intertextual analysis of direct quotations, structural parallels, and thematic resonances—particularly between Oz's essays in "The Silence of Heaven" and Agnon's "Only Yesterday"—demonstrates a relationship that transcends conventional literary influence. Both authors grapple with the polarities between rationality and irrationality, their creative work emerging from personal trauma in alignment with Edmund Wilson's "wound and bow" theory. The investigation unveils how shared existential concerns about faith, madness, and the psychological tensions within modern Jewish experience link these writers across generations. Oz's deep engagement with Agnon illuminates the theological dimensions of modern Hebrew literature, showing how Agnon's complex negotiation of Jewish tradition and modernity continues to shape contemporary Jewish literary consciousness. This analysis opens new perspectives on generational literary influence in Hebrew literature while deepening our understanding of the existential foundations of modern Jewish writing.
