« Life from over here | Main | august, Tel Aviv »
The Bubble is a term used by the liberal Israeli leftists, mostly Tel Aviv residents, to symbolize their life in this country. We attempt to block ourselves from the harsh reality of life by ignoring the media. We do not watch TV, we do not read the papers, we do not listen to the radio. We create our own reality - hence "The Bubble".
Sebastian Haffner: Defying Hitler: A Memoir
A VERY important book. Autobiographical notes written by an Aryan German describing the rise of Nazism from a (seemingly) insider’s point of view. An incredible insight into the nature of us, humans, that raises countless questions. Would we resist too?
Marjane Satrapi : Persepolis : The Story of a Childhood
A wonderful autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Reading it was a unique experience for me.
W. G. Sebald: Austerlitz
A masterpiece.
