Hebrew is this unique thing that you cannot translate to any other language. It has to do with its history.

I have to admit that talking authoritatively about my students' stories can make me feel, at times, like an astronaut who has just landed on a new planet and insists on giving guided tours to its inhabitants.

I think that, in Hebrew, it's like the language creates a more unique and specific universe even before the story.

I think when you write, you should call it a "writing spree." I don't write every day, and I don't write regularly.

I really believe hatred is not a primal emotion, in that you can't find it in nature. It's basically some kind of distortion of fear.

For me taking a pragmatic decision when it comes to art is almost an oxymoron. The reason I first picked up a pen and wrote a story had nothing pragmatic in it.

I write in a slangy colloquial speech that has not been common in the Israeli tradition of writing, and that is one of the things that gets lost a little in translation.
