Someone told me once that he's a dick in real life

[tocryabout]

Amos Oz. To Know a Woman. You need to read it. I don't know how he does it, but he manages to write about these tiny everyday mysteries that make me itch to find out the answers. I was sitting in the library going, "Whoa! What exactly is his daughter's 'condition'? Why is he putting down the garden shears to walk down the street? What's up with the real estate agent? Oh my God, man, go find out why your neighbour's wife wants to talk to you!" I couldn't put it down.

I had previously read and loved Oz's Fima, but this is even better. Amos Oz makes me want to learn Hebrew. He's my new novelist hero. I want to have book-babies with him.
