​

An Almost Olympic-Sized Pool is a novel of stories. Each story stands on its own, but they are all intertwined. This is the story of Elisha Ben David, who is mistaken for the messiah; of Esti Pesti, who never stops growing taller and who falls hopelessly in love with Gabi "Don't Touch Me"- the security guard; of the handsome Aminadav, the dedicated schoolteacher; and more. They're all a bit strange and dreamy, and they all live in "Our Town" –Our Town" – a remote northern border town whose cancerous beach is slowly killing its residents.

 

Published by Kinneret Zmora-Bitan, the book received rave reviews.
