“I am one of those writers who really need to write about my identity […] but since October 7, there were times where I was like, can I write about vampires? Can I just, you know, write a romantic comedy that takes place in outer space?” @ayelettsabari.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

#SundaySentence - Erika Dreifus

The best sentence I've read during the past week, "out of context and without commentary."

From a beautiful piece by @ayelettsabari.bsky.social in today's NYT. Gift link to "I Come From a Long Line of Housecleaners. After Oct. 7, I Knew What to Do": www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/o...

When I clean the houses at the edge of Israel’s border with Gaza, houses that have been looted, children’s rooms with bullet holes and shattered glass, Lego structures toppled over, safe rooms with “Peace Now” stickers on their doors, I do my very best. I summon the cleaner in me, and I perform deep work: I clean with intention, with something akin to religious devotion. I scour nooks and crannies, scrub floors, polish windows, pick up cigarette butts left by the Hamas terrorists. I bleach kitchens and bathrooms: Here, again, bleach is a magic eraser of trauma, a renewer of things.

I wrote for @nytopinion.nytimes.com about coming from a long line of Yemeni house cleaners, about cleaning as a way to address trauma and about cleaning at the kibbutzim that were invaded by Hamas on Oct 7. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/24/o...

I come from a long line of house cleaners. After Oct. 7, I knew what to do.

Now you can watch the literary cabaret online! My favourite @vanwritersfest.bsky.social event, in which I somehow appeared alongside authors you probably never heard of, like Roddy Doyle, Anne Enright, and Richard Powers. 😧 (Still stunned).

Still looking for last-minute gift ideas? Let me suggest my novel, SONGS FOR THE BROKENHEARTED, for lovers of historical fiction, mother-daughter stories, family secrets, and Yemeni Jewish history. Available everywhere. (And yes, it's me singing here with my amazing teacher, Gila Beshari)🫣
