"[An] original and powerful writer. His clear and honest writing blasts right through the clichs and the politically correct surface to touch the chaotic and ambiguous core of the Israeli identity. Etgar Keret In a dazzling display of empathy, Gavron creates two equally compelling narrators, the bomber and his victim. This is a virtuoso work; a pitch-perfect rendering of real Israeli life in all its chaos, energy, humor and terror. I couldnt put it down. Geraldine Brooks Politically incorrect, provocative, and steeped in wit and irony, is a fast-paced tragicomic novel about the perfectly ordinary madness in todays Middle East.
