Literature Is About Telling Stories.

Recently With Is And Islamist Fanaticism, It Has Become Easy For The Israeli Government To Simply Push The Palestinian Struggle For Self-determination Into The Same Ranks As These Fundamentalist Movements.

Actually, Who Hasn't Been Through The Ghastly Experience Of Sitting In Front Of A Blank Page, With Its Toothless Mouth Grinning At You: Go Ahead, Let's See You Lay A Finger On Me? A Blank Page Is Actually A Whitewashed Wall With No Door And No Window. Beginning To Tell A Story Is Like Making A Pass At A Total Stranger In A Restaurant.

I'm Not Sure I'm Happy With Words Such As "task" Or "role" When They Are Attached To Literature.

Almost Without Exception, My Novels Are Rooted In Israel Because That's The Place I Know Well.

I Write In Words. I Don't Write In Sounds Or In Shapes Or In Flavors.
