ספר הגברים

In a deadpan, almost childish voice the narrator reasons about men: they are people, people are animals, only supposedly more evolved; and if a dog's year is seven human ones, a woman she knows counts a man's seven years as one of hers, which makes a forty-two-year-old six. Then the men themselves appear in succession, each unique in his gestures, and she carries the injury left by one into her encounter with the next, who makes it worse. This debut novel by a poet who also writes plays is a collage of dates and wounds, comic and painful, a fast-moving free fall and a candid self-portrait.
