Hyperbole

Cold

I returned from Ukraine with a severe cold.
This morning I could honestly say: a dying dog is in better shape than I am.
The hyperbole is a pain reliever as well.

Hi,

Hey are you on couchsurfing?

Cheers,

Who are you?
Arnon
I agree. Shuffling through your flat (or house) all day in your dressing gown moaning can be quite a diverting pastime. Even (or especially) if there's no audience. Nevertheless, get well soon!
Arnon
Your hyperbole is still very discrete. I hope you feel better soon.
tirza
Hi Arnon, I live in NY too and just finished Tirza on the subway. Phenomenal. Is an English translation forthcoming so I can recommend to my American friends?
Arnon
I hope you feel better now.
Maybe the dog died in the meantime.
Do you feel better than a dead dog?
I love hyperboles, that's why I seldomly use them.
Tangerines
Everything will be hyperbolized eventually when you're a writer, i guess.
Whether in the metaphor of a dying dog, or in something else.
Writing is this context could be seen as a pain reliever in common. A soulpain reliever perhaps... anyhods! Get well soon Arnon. Slurp some coughing medicine; eat tangerines, read the short story in the New Yorker Dec 8, episode ("waiting" by Amos Oz, a nice story).

Sure you'll be fine!
My sweet uncle
Neria upgraded you. Apparantly you are for me a kind of authority symbol I need, in order to become mature myself.
Are you sure it 's just a cold and not the jetlag that withers you?It stricks me that everytime you have been travelling heavy, you catch a 'cold'.
Take care.

My last novel published in the US was "The Jewish Messiah". I'm not sure if the next novel published here will be "Tirza" or "Our Uncle."

To whom it my concern
It might be so that I am taking to much liberty upon me by answering in Arnon Grunberg's name.If I did, do feel free to inquire me about it.

This website has an 'oeuvre' section. I strongly feel this is not without reason. One might find information there that could serve as an answer to many questions. A good example of such a question would be: Arnon Grunberg are you on couchsurfing?

To Arnon Grunberg

Do you take it ill of me that I played the spokesmanpart?
Iffy
How do you know Arnon has a couch?
Arnon

Arnon
Thanks. I will keep an eye out for it. Best book I've read this year.
Pjötr
Thank you! It would be convenient for all people involved if users of this site would actually start using all the features this site has to offer. For example: go to the search engine and type the word "couchsurfing".
Kevino
I will read "Waiting".
Arnon
Don't take literally what I'm writing (especially not the "you"). I had that scene in my mind and couldn't help posting it. I tend to think in stereotype pictures and scenes a lot just for the fun of it. Perhaps I should've used a smiley. Communication is a tricky thing.
Arnon
if I were you I would have lots of un searching for appropiate pictures, despite a cold. Are you well again?
