It's Kind Of A Reflex For Me

My Stories Are Very Compact. I Want Them To Say The Most Complex Things In The Simplest Way.

Often, The Stories Are Very Much Like Trust Falls. You Fall, And You Hope The Story's Going To Catch You.

Translators Are Like Ninjas. If You Notice Them, They’re No Good.

I Tried Once In My Life To Write A Novel. I Had Written Something Like 80 Pages Of It When My Laptop Got Stolen. When I Told People This, They Acted As If Something Tragic Had Happened, But I Kind Of Felt Relieved, Grateful To The Thief Who Saved Me From Another Year Of Something That Felt More Like Homework Than Fun.

When My Works Are Being Translated, I Always Get This Question From My Translators: Up Or Down? Which Means, Should It Sound Biblical And Highbrow, Or Should We Take It All Down To Sound Colloquial? In Hebrew, It's Both All The Time. People In Israel Would Write In A High Register, They Wouldn't Write Colloquial Speech. I Do A Special Take On Colloquial Speech.
