I'll post rants here, and musings; articles and thoughts about articles. I'll keep it quite complex and yet astoundingly simple: whatever it is I am interested in at any given moment.

איכה - Scrambled Lemons

A once promising and hopeful story that turned a little sour has now become (predictably) absurd.

I hope that Wafa Younis, the conductor of the now-disbanded Palestinian youth orchestra and choir, likes operas, because her story is becoming good fodder for a librettist looking for a hanging curveball. Or an avant-garde playwright looking for a little slice of Beckett or Camus.

I'd title the opera: Orchestra of the Absurd
