The international bestseller: a compelling love story from the leading Israeli novelist of his generationWe could be like two people who inject themselves with truth serum, and at long last have to tell it--the truth. I want to be able to say to myself, I bled truth with her, yes, thats what I want. Be a knife for me, and I, I swear, will be a knife for you.An awkward, neurotic seller of rare books writes a desperate letter to a beautiful stranger whom he sees at a class reunion. This simple, lonely attempt at seduction begins a love affair of words between Yair and Miriam, two married, middle-aged adults, dissatisfied with their lives, yearning for the connection that has always eluded them--and, eventually, reawakened to feelings that they thought had passed them by. Their correspondence unfolds into an exchange of their most naked confessions: of desire, childhood tragedies, joys, and humiliations. Through the dialogue between Yair--a family man and surprisingly successful adulterer, whose complex, guarded letters reveal a life of secrets kept from the people closest to him--and Miriam, at first deceptively open and warm, who fills her life with distraction to avoid a past full of painful secrets, Be My Knife explores the nature and the limits of intimacy. A deep departure from David Grossmans previous work, Be My Knife is his subtlest, most passionate novel yet.About the Author:David Grossman is the author of seven novels, including Someone to Run With, as well as the groundbreaking works of journalism, The Yellow Wind and Sleeping on a Wire; several childrens books; and a play. He lives in Jerusalem.
