The Old Testament Is Full Of Poetry,

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

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.

My Musical Instrument Is Hebrew And, To Me, This Is The Most Important Fact About My Writing. I Write In Words. I Don Write In Sounds Or In Shapes Or In Flavors. I Write In Words. And My Words Are Hebrew Words.

Almost Every Modern Literary Form Existed In Hebrew Two Thousand Years Ago. And, Yes, It Existed Even During The Middle Ages.

All My Novels Are Rooted In Their Time And In Their Place.
