I Really Believe Hatred Is

Generally, All My Life, I Have Had Strong Friction With Life - I Was A Problematic Soldier, I Was Kicked Out Of The Army, I Was In Fights. There Was Something About Writing That Was A Way Of Experimenting With This Emotion.

Being Published In Arabic Is A Strong And Consistent Wish I Have. I Live In The Middle East And Want To Be In Some Sort Of An Unpragmatic Dialogue With My Neighbors.

All My Writing-life People Kept Telling Me That I Should Stop Writing Short Stories And Start Writing Novels: My Agent, My Israeli Publisher, My Foreign Ones, My Bank Manager - They All Felt And Keep Feeling That I'm Doing Something Wrong Here.

If You Scare Somebody Enough, They Stop Being Rational.

Writing Is Very Castrating In The Moment. Fiction In General, It Has No Function, Nobody Asks For It.
