Almost Without Exception, My Novels Are Rooted

I'm A Great Believer In Compromises. I Do Not Believe In Capitulation.

The Opposite Of Compromise Is Not Integrity. The Opposite Of Compromise Is Not Idealism. The Opposite Of Compromise Is Fanaticism And Death. And Yes, I Know One Or Two Things About Fanaticism And Death, And I Reject Them. The Alternative To Fanaticism And To Death Is Not Some Miraculous Realization That Someone Has Been Wrong And He Has To Apologize. No, The Answer To Fanaticism And To Death Is Curiosity And Compromise And Concession.

Every Single Pleasure I Can Imagine Or Have Experienced Is More Delightful, More Of A Pleasure, If You Take It In Small Sips, If You Take Your Time. Reading Is Not An Exception.

I Wrote The Same Sea Not As A Political Allegory About Israelis And Palestinians. I Wrote It About Something Much More Gutsy And Immediate. I Wrote It As A Piece Of Chamber Music.

There Are Certain Concepts, Which Exist In English, And Are Unthinkable, Untranslatable Into Hebrew And Vice Versa.
