ממלכת יהודה

הערכה

A satirist known for Israeli comedy television has published his first novel, about a tech worker who leaves Tel Aviv to found a new country in the desert. The interview touches on why he thinks satire is in crisis, how punchlines relate to serious literature, and what it means to live alongside his wife's mental illness. The book's premise and the personal angle suggest a layered commentary on Israeli society and middle-age disillusionment, but the real test is whether the satire translates to fiction.
