Notes on the writing process
More of Amos Oz
The new book raises, both explicitly and implicitly, the point of writing fiction, suggesting that it is less a noble endeavor than a driver, like sex and dreaming. 'The need to tell a story is something elemental, primeval,' Mr. Oz added... New York Times, April 13, 2009.

Amos Oz on Writing
That's what I do for a living. I get up in the morning, I drink a cup of coffee, I sit down at my desk and I start to ask myself: 'What if I were him? What if I were her? How would I feel? What would I say? How would I react?'
- Amos Oz, talking about his writing process. New York Times, April 13, 2009.
