New York one, Tel Aviv zero

229 p. ; 20 cm.

New York 1, Tel Aviv 0 -- Victor, changed man -- Wait -- Documentation -- The Disneyland of Albany -- This way I don't have to be -- Stand still -- The thing about Sophia -- None the wiser -- That night -- Fully zipped -- We, the women -- The beginning of a plan -- Maybe in a different time -- Tzfirah -- Beep -- My wife in converse -- Phonetic masterpieces of absurdity.

The stories in New York 1, Tel Aviv 0 are full of voices, some unnamed and others identified, that speak to a contemporary generation as they explore the tension between an anonymous, globalized world and an irrepressible lust for personal intimacy. The result is a highly personal document of niche moments, when relationships either run their ground, take flight, or enter holding patterns as intelligently charming as they are emotionally lonely.

Psychological fiction.
