A Holocaust writer?

Private detectives, body-switching, fairies, and Jeremiah’s smartphone.

Bab el-Wad.

Efraim Kishon.

A translator reminisces.

A complex network of pipes.

A survivor, he chronicled not just the Holocaust but also anti-Semitism and its spiritual effects.

He positions himself not as a subtly ironic modernist but as a humble, heartbroken preserver of memory.

The Homer of Lod.

A kinship between the artist and the outlaw.

An author who upended his own parables.

Fish that turn into frogs, a dead count, and halakhic humor.

A poem.

“Young and Old Together.”
