Description
In this very special, collectors’ edition of the Promised Podcast, we rebroadcast a conversation with one of our favorite writers, the brilliant and enchanting magical-realist writer Etgar Keret, soon after the publication of his 2015 memoir, The Seven Good Years. The interview was done by the wonderful Ilene Prusher, long-time fill-in Promised Podcast panelist, and one-time TLV1 program director. We also speculate, with Allison, Noah, and The Tel Aviv Review’s Gilad Halpern, about what six items we would each send up in a Voyager-Spacecraft sort of time capsule, to teach eager aliens everything they need to know about Earth’s only Jewish State. Etgar Keret, on life, literature and low expectations Etgar Keret on life, literature, longing and lowering expectations.
