Etgar Keret on his brother

When I was 3, I had a 10-year-old brother, and deep in my heart I hoped that when I grew up, I’d be just like him. Not that I stood a chance.

Etgar Keret writes about his brother Nimrod [from EK news, via Nimrod’s twitter].

Ask Bildad: Why are people in Haifa so nice?

The Thespian is moving to Haifa, following the vagabond vagaries of the acting life, and reports from his reconnoitering: People there are very nice! Twice a woman in the street said “Hello” to me.
Me: Saying hello to strangers on the street? Why is it that these northerners have no proper manners?
One who plays Bildad in the newspaper: Well, Haifa is all stairs, so Haifa people are super-good at climbing stairs. So they don’t get any elevator practice.

Bada-bing.
