מחזיר החלומות

As a boy, he once woke at night with a frightening new ability: he could give people back the dreams they had lost. Ten years later a storm tears through Tel Aviv, nothing in the city works as it should, and dawn comes a little later each day. Now in his late twenties, he is involved with a woman whose lost dreams he restores to her night after night, which forces him to confront the gift he has tried to forget. On the same street, twins Alon and Lior live with the wreckage of their family: Alon is obsessed with re-creating, ruinously and in every detail, a love affair that still haunts him, and Lior, keeping track of him, takes on their father, who no longer cares about anything. The novel ranges over love and its harms, what remains of the Zionist dream in a new consumer age, personal and collective hopes, death, time and forgetting.
