The Place Of My Novels Is Israel,

In Fact, Every One Of Us - Every Nation, Every Individual Begins Hundreds, Perhaps Thousands Of Years Prior To The Date That Appears In The Passport.

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.

When I Say My Novels Are Set In Israel In The Last Seventy Years, This Entails The Fact That They Begin Hundreds Or Thousands Of Years Earlier In Time. And, Sometimes In Very, Very Different Places, Because We All Come From Somewhere, Especially Here In Israel.

Literature Is Not Made Of Ideas And It's Not Made Of Concepts, Of Psychological Analysis. It's Made Of Words.

I Prefer To Talk About The Gift Of Literature Rather Than Its Role Or Task.
