Etgar Keret says writing both protects him from reality and can create the bridge to reality.
, I've been thinking about the fiction writer Etgar Keret. He's a beloved Israeli author of short stories and other writings. His work can be absurd, fantastical and poetic.
"He's a protection rabbit," Keret jokingly tells me."He's always alert. And, you know, he's like a Rottweiler." And I think ever since then there is something about writing that it functions like an airbag in a car, you know? COVID, a terrorist attack, my girlfriend dumped me — I run to the computer and I write something. And it's as if, like, it's both something that protects me from reality, and at the same time can create the bridge to reality, and also makes me understand myself.
Maybe, he says, it's a reading or they do yoga. But really, it's just a place to be together. Kind of like an AA meeting, he said. And sometimes he taps little things out on his iPhone's Notes app. It's not the kind of writing he's used to, but it's what he's doing now.And the weird thing is that I made these friends through these two weeks. And it's not"friends" — we're kind of, I don't know, we're survivors running for cover together.
