I Work In Hebrew. Hebrew Is Deeply

Amos Oz

I Work In Hebrew. Hebrew Is Deeply Inspired By Other Languages. Not Now, For The Last Three Thousand Years, Hebrew Has Been Penetrated And Fertilized By Ancient Semitic Languages - By Aramaic, By Greek, By Latin, By Arabic, By Yiddish, By Latino, By German, By Russian, By English, I Could Go On And On. It's Very Much Like English. The English Language Took In Many Many Fertilizations, Many Many Genes, From Other Languages, From Foreign Languages - Latin, French, Nordic Languages, German, Scandinavian Languages. Every Language Has Influences And Is An Influence.

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.
