Be My Knife | David Grossman

“Be a knife for me and I swear, I will be a knife for you."

Yair has been observing Miriam. He does not want to meet her in person, only for her to agree to receive his letters. Miriam replies at once and over the course of several months a love affair ensues through letters between these two strangers.

I could have named Grossman among the favorite authors in my last post. #cutslikeaknife #timbittunes

Cinfhen I haven‘t read much by Grossman but I‘ve been meaning too. #MaybeOneDay #somanybookssolittletime 5y

Cathythoughts I‘ve never read Grossman .... I don‘t know anything about this writer ... I‘ll investigate 5y

BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts He is worth looking into. 5y

TheKidUpstairs Sounds beautiful. I love the slow romance of old fashioned letter writing. 5y

SqueakyChu I read two other books by Grossman years ago! It‘s time to pick up another one. Stacked! 5y

BarbaraBB @SqueakyChu which ones did you read? 5y

SqueakyChu I read Someone To Run With and the Zig Zag Kid. I also read his book of essays called Writing in the Dark. I couldn‘t make it though See Under: Love. That book was too weird even for me! 😃 5y

Well I obviously did not read far enough into the Kindle preview before deciding to buy this. Oh my god, about ten pages later, it's plain as day that this is horribly sentimental, romantic, and gushy. Just no!

tapgurl You can probably return it 7y

shawnmooney @tapgurl Thanks - I actually just sent an email to Amazon Japan to ask them to do just that. 7y

tapgurl Amazon Japan! Is that where you are? 7y

shawnmooney @tapgurl Yup - live in Tokyo! 😀 7y

tapgurl Well that's awesome! I knew Amazon was in the U.K. But did not know about Japan 7y

Moray_Reads It doesn't get better! I love some of Grossman's work but I hated this one 7y

Kaylamburson Hmm now don't know if I should "unstack" it. That page of the kindle preview looked so good!! 7y

shawnmooney @Kaylamburson Why don't you get the full, free Kindle preview and see what you think? 7y

Kaylamburson You sound like a logical guy, @shawnmooney! I think I shall! 7y

Reviewsbylola That's the worst. 7y

Zelma Yup, been there, done that. And I always get irrationally annoyed that I got suckered into a bad book. 7y

Nope, Yair is not a stalker or psycho. This is the opening to the novel, and on the basis of this and a few more pages of the Kindle preview, I'm in! My first by David Grossman, and I see no one else on Litsy has weighed in on it at all; the Goodreads ratings and reviews are good, though.

Cinfhen Well that was short lived😂 7y

Suet624 @Cinfhen, 😂😂😂 @shawnmooney, oddly enough, I got sort of a similar email recently. 7y
