Description:

"Kalman Keren is a writer with a megalomaniac dream of writing the ultimate masterpiece of all time. Professor Schatz is a merciless literary critic who is every writer's nightmare - and who refused to review Keren's last book. Now Schatz and his wife have moved into the apartment above Keren's, and life in the small Tel Aviv building will never be the same." "Keren complains that Schatz's incessant banging on the typewriter is dooming him to eternal writer's block. Schatz complains that Keren's rabbits are noisy and disturbing. The battle lines are drawn." "Then Keren meets Naomi, Professor Shatz's lovely wife, who just happens to love Kerens work. All's fair in love and war, and this is definitely both ..." "A story of communal life that is also a witty satire of the writer-critic relationship."--Jacket.
