People
"There is in my work a very strong religious foreground and background. In the later work some of that tends to diminish, but it's certainly present in the early work."
Work
"I'm constantly revising. Once the book is written and typed, I go through the entire draft again."
Writing
"I think that to a very great extent we are partners with the divine in this enterprise called history. That is an ongoing relationship, and there is absolutely no guarantee that things will automatically work out to our best advantage."
Work
"What I have in advance are people I want to write about and a problem or problems that I see those people encountering and that I want to explore - it all proceeds sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, and scene by scene."
People
"A book is sent out into the world, and there is no way of fully anticipating the responses it will elicit. Consider the responses called forth by the Bible, Homer, Shakespeare - let alone contemporary poetry or a modern novel."
Poetry
"Yes, there is some thought about making a film of My Name Is Asher Lev."
Thought
"And these two elements are at odds with one another because Freud is utterly adversary to almost all the ways of structuring the human experience found in Western religions. No Western religion can countenance Freud's view of man."
