This is How We Talk: A Tel-Aviv Novel

Julian Furman

Life in Tel Aviv, Israel’s famed party town, is restless, relentless and amoral, a cycle of hedonism and bitter regret. Modern couple, Yonotan and Lia, are at the heart of the scene, and this is the story of their relationship, lives as parents and the fallout from their break-up.With searing honesty, Furman examines the younger generation of Israelis, alienated from their state and morally conflicted about their role as soldiers and citizens; burdened with responsibility of forging the future for a nation perpetually at war with itself.

Julian Furman

Julian Furman was born and educated in London. His Argentine father and German mother, brought up in Tokyo, met in Israel. Julian trained as a lawyer and worked with the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. He is married and lives between London and Tel-Aviv.
