Alberto did something to displease a Russian customer, who, as a sort of warning, mimed slitting his throat.

I have a memory of a group of us dancing on a pontoon on the lake one Friday night that I think about if ever I need to reduce my blood pressure.

On my birthday I go to an exhibition. Its themes are: death, separation, misery, gloom. Everything but fun. Perfect!

He’s too polite to say he thinks he’s more handsome than me, but he’s not too polite to think it.

We’re drunk and happy, and howl into the night, like wolves in the forest.

He says I should come back to the table and talk to him more, and blows me a kiss. I wink at him, like a playboy.

He laughs. “I wish! I wish you’d fuck me.” He howls this into the night. He doesn’t care who hears. “Fuck you all!”

A man at another table pointed at me, his hand trembling, and said, “Itzak Stern sat there.”

A year in Tel Aviv

I arrived in Israel from London in November, slightly dazed. The process of getting here had been smooth, maybe too easy. What would I do here? What would I find? Who would I meet? Would I stay?

This blog is my attempt to answer those questions. The posts aren’t in any sort of chronological order.

White Meat, by the way, is what
Israelis call pork.
