Sort of feel like I don't ever have to read another Israeli novel now. Not that this was particularly great or comprehensive, but just sort of like - ok I get it now. I wouldn't read another one of his. Reminds me a bit of all those American men, John Updike, Phlilp Roth, Saul Bellow,carefully chosen words and all very meaningful weaving in personal and the political, but not very likeable and somehow the characters don't really grab you.
