If I may sneek in a question that buzzled me a long time; why are so many articles in Haayal are published on Friday night Israel time?

I'm sorry you didn't find my review insightful; I'm pleased many others did. Gottfreund's book was presented in the media, and by the author himself, as referencing Grossman's book. The narrative of a holocaust story by a child, in reference to family and neighbors, and on a quest to find out what happened "there", is, I believe, very similar. In my mind, and in the minds of many friends, the comparison was immediately available and begged for analysis. As to the quality of the analysis, I appreciate the comment though it most certainly could be framed more adequately and politely. I'm happy many people emailed with positive comments, and additional thoughts about these two books, but I guess not everyone likes everything, and it is your prerogative not to appreciate it.

Holocaust, Storytelling, Memory, Identity: David Grossman in California; See Under: LOVE: A personal view

And therefore from my perspective this is not a book about death, not about what the Nazis were interested in doing, and not about the engine of destruction, but about life, and what meaning there is to life after the Shoah.

After all that we now know about the human being, how is it possible to raise a child after the Shoah? And how is it possible to write poetry or prose? And how is it possible to love someone? Because I recognize for myself and also from other people the seductiveness of despair. To abandon the desire to live in a world where such things are possible.
