"It's like Milan Kundera's thing about Kafka, of going into the dark depths of a joke. That's what he did, that's what I do, and that's the way you have to do it. Life's a joke that we have to take seriously."
Shalom Auslander
"When I interviewed Netanyahu I made the headlines because for the first time in his life he said that he thinks the Israel-Palestine conflict has no solution. Then afterwards he denied it - or rather, he said that he said it, but that he didn't mean what he said."
Etgar Keret
