````Dolly City``--a city without a base, without a past, without an infrastructure. The most demented city in the world.`` In the midst of a futuristic-primitive metropolis, the accumulation of all our urban nightmares, Doctor Dolly (certified by the University of Katmandu) finds a newborn baby in a black plastic bag, and decides to become a mother. Overcome by unfamiliar maternal urges, Dolly dispenses with her private lab of rare diseases and turns all her surgical passion onto her son, who she names ``Son.`` Ceaselessly cutting and sewing, Dolly is the scalpel-wielding version of the all-too-familiar Jewish Mother, forever operating upon her son with destructive, invasive love. In this grotesque satire of war and the defensive measures taken to survive it, Orly Castel-Bloom, one of Israels most provocative and original writers, turns her own scalpel upon that most holy of institutions, the myth of motherhood--and its implications in the work of a nation. Gruesome, irreverent, and hilarious, ``Dolly City`` is widely recognized as one of the most disconcerting--and brilliant--works ever written in Hebrew.
