he'd have to stop growing right this second.

Horses etc

Dearest Mr Grunberg

Have you yourself ever ridden on horseback?
Or on a donkey. a camel, whatever?
bert

Maybe he will and maybe you will.

Bert

I love horse and camel riding, but my favorite way of transportation is human riding.
You said you were a 58-year-old male? Can I climb on you?

transportation

Dear Mr Grunberg,
I happen to be 59, so I don't think I will be able to take you on my back for a trip to wherever. Although of course all depends on how much you weigh.
In an emergency however I might be tempted to carry you to safety in this way, just to ensure a future good read....

And besides: yes, some people are always allowed to climb my back.

Bert

Oh, don't worry, Arnon is very light! ;)

weight

Yes Sasja. but I am very light as well.
And being much older than our dear Mr Grunberg, I might get into serious trouble here...

I am looking forward to this book about your horse-riding godson!
It might turn out to be something like "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner "(1959), by Alan Sillitoe.
You know...., like all Shakespeare plays are based on earlier stories.
Ah well, that's an entirely different subject, a 'horse of another colour'.

Arnon,

It took me months to fully grasp the notion of the writer as a whore although I still think that most writers have the opportunity to earn a living from other jobs. Whereas one supposedly agree (as opposted to want) to be used for the gratification of another, how do you as a writer ethically solve the appropriation of actual underaged in your writings? I hope my question is clear, not that I think that it is OK but let's say it is less evil to sell yourself than selling others.
Now specifically regarding this blog, you must remember your own uttering about it not being an intimate sphere (perhaps you phrased it differently but the bottom line is the same) in this regard what does it mean to you to place pictures of your godson here? And again, did you ask his permission to upload his photo to your blog?

Neria

It will take you many more months perhaps even years to grasp the meaning of the word "undesired".

Arnon,

I hope it will take you less time to overcome the fact that I don't desire you the way you wanted me to. I can still discuss moral subjects with people I am not attacted to. Your ego is so fragile to the point you might manipulate others to think that they are parcticing violence on you while objectively you use your fragility as an excuse for your terror.
Just ask your godson's permission to upload his photos to your blog and stop objectifying him.
