In an interview with Guernica magazine David Grossman talks about his book To the End of the Land, his return to writing after the death of his son, regional politics, and Bibi Netanyahu. Quite by the way he also has a message for Zoe Williams:
There is something in literature so contrary to the general dimension of war. War is all about effacing the other and self-effacement; it's all about generalizations and sweeping definitions and demonizations. Writing is about specifying individuals, being very attentive to them and caring for them. It insists on nuances. When people read books, not only in Israel or Palestine but everywhere in our industrial society - big conglomerates, big metropolises - writing has a unique power to give us back our faith, our human faith. And this is not a small thing.
