My favorite writers
I think people would be suprised to find out who my favorite “modern” writers are. Both David Sedaris and Etgar Keret are quirky writers, with whom I have nothing in common. I love the way they look at the world.
I heard Sedaris on NPR before I read anything by him. It is a good thing I never crashed my car, with all the laughing I do hearing his stories.
I first read Etgar Keret in translation, but the story stuck with me for a long time. I bought one of his books in Hebrew and used it to help me learn the language. Some of his stories are read in schools in Israel.
This week he had an Op-Ed Piece in the New York Times about war and Israel. I highly reccommend it.
